Soft Wrapping and Indentation

[Joerg Fischer]

Hi,

I think the continuous wrapping in nedit lacks an option to display
files with indentation more nicely.  This is the way nedit displays
two lines in continuous wrapping:

1      AAAAAAAAAAAAA
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    AAAAAAAA
2      BBBBBBBBBBBBB
    BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
    BBBBBBBB

An alternative (and IMO better) option would be

1      AAAAAAAAAAAAA
    xxxAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    xxxAAAAAAAAAAA
2      BBBBBBBBBBBBB
    xxxBBBBBBBBBBBBB
    xxxBBBBBBBBBBB

where a darker background color (indicated with x) could/should be
used to distinguish the "empty" indentations (those inside the 
lines) from the real ones (those at the start of the lines).

Empty means that there should be no white spaces in the buffer. 
Only the line is continued with an empty indentation of the length
given by the indentation of the line start - like one can choose 
the length to  be displayed for tab character that in reality is 
always one char.

Cheers,
Jörg
