Using the Code Editor
The code editor provides a variety of features that make it easier to write, edit, and debug your code. It supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and WebvantaScript.
Syntax Highlighting
Your text is colored to show which parts are strings, comments, numeric values, etc. If the code has a structural error, such as a close tag for which there is no matching open tag, the offending code is shown in red.
Note: WebvantaScript syntax highlighting is currently limited and will be improved in future versions.
Indenting
The tab key indents the current line or, if multiple lines are selected, all the selected lines.
Shift-tab removes one level of indentation.
Undo and Redo
Ctrl-Z undoes the previous action, and Ctrl-Y redoes it. On Safari, Ctrl-Z may not work, in which case you can use Ctrl-Backspace.
Find Matching Brackets
Ctrl-[ looks for the matching bracket and, if found, highlights it briefly. The cursor must be immediately after a (, ), [, ], {, or } for this to work.
