I'm trying to configure the formatter so that sets of lines that are assigning values have the equal / colons aligned. I found something online saying that the "Align fields in columns" option on the indentation tab of the Code Formatter options dialog is supposed to provide this behavior, but this does not seem to work.
Sample code:
var foo =
{
a : 1,
bb : 2,
ccc : 3
};
var a = 1;
var bb = 2;
var ccc = 3;
I would like it to look like this:
var foo =
{
a : 1,
bb : 2,
ccc : 3
};
var a = 1;
var bb = 2;
var ccc = 3;
Can anyone out there help?
Thanks,
Arin

(This is less of a question for the web tools than for the newcomers
forum where it would receive greater consideration in terms of numbers
who see it and answers given.)

(Ah, sorry, my bad...)
