structural highlighting

(1/2) > >>

DFO:
I enjoy using Code::Blocks but what it lacks is a full-scale structural highlight plugin, as on the picture below:

I wonder if there's any solution or any development in this field?

I believe it would be beneficial for the project, because so many popular IDE (Visual Studio, Intellij Idea etc) have this feature either with help of plug-ins or even out of the box. Naturally, having such a feature in Code::Blocks would draw more attention to the project from those who are used to such a highlighting.

oBFusCATed:
We're using Scintilla for our code-editor component and I don't think Scintilla supports this at the moment.

BTW: Are you talking about the purple brackets around if/esle clauses. Keep in mind that we've might not seen this feature in action, so we need clearer explanation how it works.

DFO:
Yes, that and orange brackets enclosing "else" blocks.

oBFusCATed:
The orange lines are called indent guides and I think they are available...

Hi oBFusCATed, you said it's available but you clarify more how to enable it? I have check the editor for indent guides and did not see an option for it. Thanks.
