Global preferences - notepad
Word Wrap If checked, notepad windows wrap at the window edge. Window colour Default colour for notepad windows. If both swatches are black, will default to black on white. Parenthesis matching preferences Below are the preferences for the "parenthesis matching" code ... Braces nest When checked braces can be nested (like in MUSH) so that the "current delimiter" for the end of the scan changes. For example: [ ( ] ) ] In this case, with nested braces on, and starting at the left-hand side, the cursor will move to the far right-hand side. With nested braces off, the cursor will move to the left of the middle square bracket, as the nested bracket "(" will not have any special significance. \ escapes next character When checked, you can "escape" the significance of the next character (including another "\") by preceding it with "\". For example: [ \] ] With "\ escapes next character" checked, the middle bracket is ignored. % escapes next character When checked, you can "escape" the significance of the next character (including another "%") by preceding it with "%". The behaviour in this case is identical to the " escapes next character" above. Check this for a MUSH which uses "%" as an escape character. ' quotes a string When checked, code can include strings. For example: [ ']' ] With " ' quotes a string" checked, the middle bracket is ignored. ... with escape inside quotes When checked, quotes can have escaped quotes inside them. For example: 'Press 'Enter' now' In this example the word 'Enter' is considered part of the quoted string. " quotes a string When checked, code can include strings. For example: [ "]" ] With ' " quotes a string' checked, the middle bracket is ignored. ... with escape inside quotes When checked, quotes can have escaped quotes inside them. For example: "Press "Enter" now" In this example the word "Enter" is considered part of the quoted string. Quote string: String to use when quoting text. See Also ...
