1. Crystal C/C++ Formatter -   Crystal Flow's formatter is parser-based. It does a lot more than a formatter that uses lexical analysis only. -   Alignment of type specifiers, declarators among consecutive declarations -   Alignment of assignment operators among consecutive assignment statements -   Formatting of long expressions that take up more than one line - based on precedence of operators -   Proper formatting of macro definitions that contain many statements -   Maintains a comment-field to the right for easy readability 2. Formatting files in Crystal C/C++ When Crystal C/C++ opens a file for the first time: -   It uses the current format settings to format the file and saves the format settings on a per file basis. -   When you open the file again, the saved format settings are used for that file. 3. To modify Format settings Click Tools → Options → Environment → File Window → Format Settings -   Set the Indent and Tab Size, etc -   Change the Code Formatting Style -   Change the Comment Formatting Style -   Selectively disable formatting of code or comments. 4. To apply the modified format setting To apply the new settings to a file that is currently open: -   Click File → Refresh Current File. (Until you Refresh the file, your changes will not be applied to the current file) To apply the new settings to all files in the project -   Click Project→Reparse Project → FilesAll (Until you Reparse the project, your changes will not be applied to the whole project) 5.
