[Dev-C++] Source formatting within Dev-C++ IDE

[Marc F. <fel...@gm...>]

I'm using the latest beta 4.9.9.2 (WinXP, SP2), having come from a
Linux (Xemacs) environment.  Xemacs (as well as Anjuta and KDevelop)
keeps the source code formatted properly (or can at least globally
reformat the code to keep it to a particular style), so style
messiness is at a minimum.  I've been unable to find any source
formatting capability within Dev-C++ and I notice that Xemacs (or
KDevelop) formatted code gets messed up pretty quickly in the newest
beta.  Am I missing something in the configuration or a menu that
actually permits source reformatting?

Many thanks.=20

I use the Artistic Style formatter (http://astyle.sourceforge.net).  You might
already have astyle.exe on your machine.  I set up a Tool within Dev-C++ which
invokes astyle on the source file with the Parameters field set to:

--style=kr --brackets=break-closing-headers -s3 "<SOURCENAME>"
