Spaces instead of tabs

[dtthompso]

How do I modify a code generation template to use spaces instead of tabs for indentation?

[thomaskilian]

You need to modify the templates manually. RTFM or simply open/edit them with the build-in editor.

What about the old pi macro?

[thomaskilian]

Yes, the good old pi-calculus

Ouch!

I guess I should have seen that coming Thomas.

I have the same problem, but I don't understand, how I am supposed to use the PI macro to cure the problem. I have an Add In, that will generate the complete documentation header for me in a multiline string. (separated by "\r\n") Each line of the string starts directly with "///". In the generated file, the first line will start with the appropriate number of spaces, the next lines will all start with a tab. (And in the macro I have set %PI=""%)

As a workaround I would be also happy if there would be a way of postprocessing the generated sourcecode, but the only EA callback I have found for this pupropse is a MDG callback, and I don't want to spent the effort of making my AddIn an MDG AddIn.

I don't really think you have another options Thomas (H). It only hurts once though, and the MDG stuff does work.

The tabs created on synchronisation of a comment will be calculated by EA from the list macros in the class body and namespace body.  You should be able to get the right indent by modifying these.

Thanks for the hint looking at the class body macros! Modifying these did the trick for me. (No MDG Add In required for now...)
