Else If statements

[Charl van Jaarsveldt]

Hallo,

I noticed that in statements like:
If foo Then
Begin
End Else If bar Then
Begin
End;
The else if bit is replaced by:
Else Begin
  If bar Then
  Begin
  End;
End;

(in other words else if is replaced with else begin if)
Is there a setting to disable this? I can't find anything.

Thanx
C

I found the option to take care of it. There is an option to put single statements in a begin..end block. Since Else if is a single statment for the else, it gets a begin end.

Now, it would be nice to be able to enforce the begin end around a single statement, but keep the else if as a pascal thing. (So keep the option to enforce a begin end around single statements, but it shouldn't apply to else if)

Thank you.

Hm, that's not quite right. The "single statement in begin end" option (still a fairly new feature) should leave "else if" alone. I will add it to the bugs list.
