Pretty Printing in zMUD

For some reason, on my Lusternian zMUD character, the "Pretty Printing" does not work (all pedantists need it). I have all the top 6 checkboxes in the "Pretty Printing" section of Preferenced checked, but none of these have any effect. For example, if I made this script:
CODE
#al VariableName {#var Jim {%CTIME};#if (@bob) {Jim} {Bob}}

It should change it to this:
CODE
#ALIAS VariableName {
 #VARIABLE Jim {%ctime}
 #IF (@bob) {Jim} {Bob}
 }

But it doesn't. Does anyone have any idea of why this isn't working?

It only changes after you SAVE it, and reload it. If there are syntax errors it doesn't change it.

I mean that it doesn't work even after I've saved it and there's no syntax errors, I'm not that stupid.
Daganev2005-01-09 09:49:59
Oh... I was *grin*
I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out why my Pretty printing wasn't working and after playing with knobs and buttons realized I never saved it.


I suggest playing with more nobs and buttons

Yeah, I've unchecked and rechecked all the boxes many times, maybe I should try some more things...

No,

#CODE (%your) {
;stuff
#LIKE
} {#THIS}

(Commands in capitals.)

But Pretty Printing works fine - or did work fine (haven't played it in a while) - on Achaea in my zMUD.

I can't be bothered writing everything in full, pretty version like that, although I can't stand reading it in that shortened-version form, due to my pedantism.

Oh my God! I just fixed this! Finally! And I didn't even mean to.

Okay, so what was wrong was that in the Settings, in the Edit window, Options > Pretty Print was deselected... So I selected it tongue.gif.
I just posted it just in case someone else is idiotic enough to have this problem too (and pedantic enough to call it a problem).
Daganev2005-01-19 05:51:00
see... Told you to play with nobs and buttons.

tongue.gif You are quite right.
