The enclosing brackets, braces, parenthesis, greater-than and less-than characters, single quote-marks and double quote-marks, are highlighted in pairs within the Editing window. The highlighting indicates the start- and end-points of the section. It is intended to help you check for errors and missing braces/quotes.
Highlighting behaves as follows:
|
|
Highlighting appears when the cursor is placed immediately before the beginning enclosing-character or directly after the end enclosing-character. |
|
|
If the enclosing-characters are mismatched, each enclosing-character will be highlighted in a different color. |
Customize the highlighting color for:
|
|
Matched Brackets Affects highlighting on matching ( ) { } [ ] < > characters |
|
|
Mismatched Brackets Affects highlighting on mismatched " " ( ) { } [ ] < > characters |
|
|
Matched Quotes Affects highlighting on " " ' ' characters |
Disable and Enable Highlighting: Select or de-select the option in the Tools | Preferences | Editing window.
Jump Between Matching Brackets: Jump from the one bracket to the other, to reduce the need for scrolling.
To jump between brackets:
|
|
Open the Goto main menu and select Goto Matching Bracket; the Editor will advance to the matching bracket. |
