Besides syntax highlighting, methods are provided for commenting and uncommenting as well as indenting and unindenting a selected area, matching pairs of braces, brackets and brackets and curlies and automatic indenting of new lines.</p> <p>Syntax highlighting is done through a plugin approach. Currently there is support for <strong>Perl</strong>, <strong>Pod</strong>, <strong>HTML</strong> and <strong>Xresources</strong>. Adding languages is a matter of writing plugin modules. Theoretically this is not limited to programming languages. The plugin approach could also provide the possibility for grammar or spell checking in spoken languages.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1> <dl> <dt><strong><a name="item_name%3a_autoindent">Name: <strong>autoindent</strong></a></strong><br /> </dt> <dt><strong><a name="item_class%3a_autoindent">Class: <strong>Autoindent</strong></a></strong><br /> </dt> <dt><strong><a name="item_switch%3a_%2dautoindent">Switch: <strong>-autoindent</strong></a></strong><br /> </dt> <dd> Boolean, when you press the enter button, should the next line begin at the same position as the current line or not.
