Wordwrap?

Post by Justin »

It's such a basic function for an editor, why it is not implemented?

The IDE is tailored to the language. PureBasic previously required all text for a program line (statement or compound statement) to be together before the next line. This sometimes produced extremely long lines (more than one screen width).

There are now some limited ways to continue a line of code on sequential lines but it requires that the line be broken only at certain points (i.e. a '+', a ',' , an 'Or', or an 'And'). None of these would work with a traditional word wrap for lines longer than a given character count.

Well, i use wordwrap in pb with other editors (ultraedit, notepad++) without problems, so i don't see why the ide can' support it.
I guess is the way the syntax highlighting is coded. It's the main reason i don't use the ide.
