Indenting and commenting

The formula editor can indent and outdent blocks of code for you. Indentation is used to indicate the 

logical structure of code, to make formulas easier to read. 

G     

Click Indent Block on the Edit menu to move the selected lines to the right. This will add a 

space at the start of each line.

G     

Click Outdent Block on the Edit menu to move the selected lines to the left. This will 

remove a space from each line, if there is one.

You can also easily comment and uncomment blocks of code. The compiler will ignore commented 

code, so this is an easy way to (temporarily) disable parts of a formula.

G     

Click Comment Block on the Edit menu to comment the selected lines. This will put a 

semicolon and a space at the start of each line.

G     

Click Uncomment Block on the Edit menu to uncomment the selected lines. This will 

remove a semicolon and a space from each line, if any.
