Indentation engines determine the formatting of text that is generated or typed in the Source Editor.

There are different indentation engines for different editor types. You can modify the properties of the indentation engines in the Options window.

To set indentation properties for an editor type, choose Tools > Options and click Advanced Options. In the left pane, expand Editing > Indentation Engines and select the indentation engine for the editor type.

The Simple Indentation Engine is used for file types that do not have their own indentation engine.

The following are properties for the indentation engines. Some indentation engines only have the Expand Tabs to Spaces and Number of Spaces per Indent properties.
