This page gives an overview of the Ruby Editor.
Introduction
The Ruby editor provides specialized features for editing Ruby code.
Associated with the editor is a Ruby-specific Outline view, which shows the structure of the active Ruby script. It is updated as the user edits the script.
The editor includes the following features:
- Syntax highlighting
- Content/code assist
- Code formatting
- Integrated debugging features
The most common way to invoke the Ruby editor is to open a Ruby file from the Navigator or Ruby Resource View using pop-up menus or by clicking the file (single or double-click depending on the user preferences). You can also open the editor by opening Ruby elements, such as types, methods, or fields, from other views.
