The Editor/Report Preferences dialog controls options for the Editor and Report windows. This information is stored inside the project HPJ file.

Select the Editor > Editor/Report Preferences menu option to open the Editor/Report Preferences dialog.

The Color Highlighting radio buttons determine when color syntax editing is active. By default, the When not building option is selected so that the color syntax editing does not slow the build time of large projects.

The Background Color button opens the Color dialog. From this dialog you can set the background color of the Editor and Report windows.

The Font button opens the Font dialog. From this dialog you can set the font type, size, and color of the text in the Editor and Report windows.

The Color Printing checkbox prints the source code in color. If unchecked, all code is printed in black.

The Show Line Numbers checkbox determines whether or not line numbers are displayed in the editor window.

The Tab Width edit box sets the number of spaces that the tab key will generate. The default setting is two spaces, but it can be set to match the tab width of an external editor.

The Insert Spaces and Keep Tabs radio buttons determine whether spaces or tab characters are inserted when the <Tab> key is pressed.

If the Use XEmacs Editor box is checked, BugHunter will use the XEmacs editor to edit HDL files instead of its internal editor. For more information on this feature see Section 4.8 XEmacs Integration.

The XEmacs Path edit box contains the location of the XEmacs executable to use (when XEmacs is enabled).
