WinEdt 5.4 line-wrapping at comments

Sometimes I use WinEdt 5.4 [Build: 20050701  (v. 5.4)] as
TeX-Input-editor.

I don't use soft-wrapping for the document mode "TeX". I use a
fixed right margin with a length of 80 characters. During typing,
the input gets wrapped at last after the 80th character which is
due to the option "enable line wrapping". Linebreaks end up in
the TeX-input-file as <CR+LF>.

When editing a paragraph which I have already typed,  that
paragraph is - due to paragraph-wraping - automatically
re-wrapped to a linewidth of 80 characters.

That's nice.

But there are problems with lines which contain comment-chars (%)
[ or whatever string is listed under "options -> settings ->
comments"]  :

WinEdt 5.4 leaves those lines entirely untouched. (That behavior
is described in the documentation/WinEdt-help.)

I'd like WinEdt 5.4 to wrap the material which in such lines
appears at the left of the first comment-char of that line and
which thus does not belong to the comment but does belong to the
paragraph preceding the comment together with the preceding
lines of that paragraph while leaving the material at the
right of the comment-char untouched/unwrapped, yielding a nicely
wrapped paragraph whose last line might be longer than 80
characters due to the presence of the comment-char somewhere

There is no option to achieve this. Indeed WinEdt treats lines that
contain comments as data that should not be formatted (including
any text in front of the comment).

If and when I will make changes to wrapping/ formatting
functionality I may consider an optional behavior as described
above but at the moment I am not planning any changes to wrapping
behavior for the next version.

Tabs in Macros in WinEdt 6

Re: Tabs in Macros in WinEdt 6

Hi Daniel,

I use  a macro named tab_to_tex.edt, with the following code (provided 
to me by Alex, if I remember well):

CopyFromClipboard(0);
   // Convert tab to tab&
   LetRegNum(1, 0);
   LetRegNum(2, -3);
   Loop(!|>
     FindInString("%!0", "$[#9]$", 1,2, 1011, %!2+3);>
     IfOK('ReplaceInString("%!0", "$[#9]$& ", %!1, %!2, 1, 0);','Stop;')|);

   // Convert CR to \\CR
   LetRegNum(1, 0);
   LetRegNum(2, -3);
   Loop(!|>
     FindInString("%!0", "$[#13]$", 1,2, 1011, %!2+3);>
     IfOK('ReplaceInString("%!0", "\\\\$[#13]$", %!1, %!2, 1, 
0);','Stop;')|);

   InsText("%!0"); // Insert with no wrapping

End;

The macro is assigned to a menu item (I have it in a "my_tools" menu, 
but you can just add it for instance to "Tools")

   ITEM="Paste_tab_to_TeX"
     CAPTION="Paste tab to TeX"
     MACRO="Exe('%B\Contrib\My\tab_to_tex.edt');"    // adapt the path
     SHORTCUT="49240::Ctrl+Alt+X"

Usage: In Excel I just copy the wanted table, and then pressing 
Ctrl+Alt+X in WinEdt I get the table with tab replaced by &, and end of 
line by \\.

Alternatively, you can also use the Excel add-in: 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/excel2latex , with which you get 
in addition the table environment.

Hope this helps.

Gilbert

Dear all
i am facing the same problem...pdflatex.exe failed for some reason...moreover 
i can not be able to run through command prompt

RE: Tabs in Macros in WinEdt 6

Hi Gilbert,

Many thanks for your hints.

The macro did not work because tabs but because dots: I use winedt 5 and 6
in two computers (old and new) and they have different settings: the old
used a comma to represent decimal dot and the new an effective dot. 

In fact setting in tabs.ini

TAB_EXPAND=2
and
TAB_ALLOW_KEYBOARD=1

And changing , in \. In the macro worked.

What I miss now is an option to get the tab displayed as underlined >.
