Zeus IDE

Hello,

I'm just starting with Zeus, and after spending about an hour with the help, config/options/properties, and this forum, I still can't figure out if the program can do basic folding/outlining according to the number of tabs at the beginning of each line.

I defined a new document type as best I could, but the Help seems to predate the introduction of the Properties dialog...

Hi Christian,

I still can't figure out if the program can do basic folding/outlining according to the number of tabs at the beginning of each line.

Zeus code folding is only language based not tab based. All the code folding in Zeus is handled by the xFolder.dll which is hand-crafted for each language.

You can request folding for a new language using this Code Folding forum link: http://www.zeusedit.com/zforum/viewforum.php?f=8

But if you language is like Python (which is an indent based folder) then Zeus might fold the way you want.

You can easily check this by just saving your text with the py file extension (i.e. the folding in Zeus is extension based).

The only form of generic folding available is marked area folding. To use this mark a region of code and then use View Folding menu to fold away the marked area.

but the Help seems to predate the introduction of the Properties dialog...

Zeus is over 15 years old so many parts of the help are dated

When in doubt it is easiest to search the forum of post a question to the forum.

Cheers Jussi
