#965 Indent content in environment

[Anonymous]

In order to enhance readability, I indent conent within an environment.

Since \begin{$environment} auto-completes \end{$environment}, it would be helpful to auto-indent the next line. For most environments, this is not a big deal. However, for itemize, the next line, \item, auto-completes wiht the wrong indention level. Fixing this requires many keystrokes.

I do not fully understand the request. Please describe excatly what you do, what happens and what you would like to happen instead.

I think I know what was intended here. Please reopen the issue.

In the manual I couldn't find any indication, that this issue was reported based on a misunderstanding of available features.

My preferred behavior

Environments define a nesting-level, and are indented (as usual in programming languages). Start and end of each environment are instantly visible from the indentation structure.

\begin{align}
  \begin{pmatrix}{cc}
    a_{11} & a_{12} \\
    a_{21} & a_{22} 
  \end{pmatrix}
  \begin{pmatrix}
    b_{11} & b_{12} \\
    b_{21} & b_{22}
  \end{pmatrix}
\end{align}

Current behavior of TeXstudio

Flat style. Quickly becomes near-impossible to read for complex real-world equations.

\begin{align}
\begin{pmatrix}{cc}
a_{11} & a_{12} \\
a_{21} & a_{22} 
\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
b_{11} & b_{12} \\
b_{21} & b_{22}
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align}

Should be optional

Depending on the field of work, such nested environments don't occur and it may be more desirable to keep all text at the same indentation level – or even required, e.g. for verbatim or lstlisting.
