This page explains how to turn off code formatting for specified blocks of JavaScript code.
Introduction
The code formatting tool in Aptana allows you to turn formatting on or off for a pre-defined block of JavaScript code. The instructions below tell you how to designate whether formatting should be on or off for a block of code.
Instructions
To turn formatting off or on for a block of JavaScript code:
- Use //noformat to signify the start of a block of code that the formatter should leave as is
- Use //format to signify that the formatter should resume formatting after the end of this comment directive
- If //noformat is never followed by a //format comment then the entire document after the //noformat comment will be left as is by the formatter
- //noformat and //format with any other content in those content blocks will be ignored as directives to the formatter
- //noformat and //format will be matched case insensitively (i.e //NOFORMAT and //Format will be interpreted as valid directives to the formatter)
Example:
function test() {
//noformat
var i; var j; var k;
//format
i = 3;
while( i < 4 ) {
i++;
}
}
