| Using automatic indenting |
| Prev | Working with the Kate editor | Next |
Kates editor component supports a variation of autoindenting modes, designed for different text formats. You can pick from the available modes using the → menu. The autoindent modules also provides a function → which will recalculate the indentation of the selected or current line. Thus, you may reindent your entire document by selecting all the text and activating that action.
All the indent modes use the indentation related settings in the active document.
You can set all sorts of configuration variables, including those related to indentation using Document Variables and File types.
