<Title>DESCRIPTION</Title>
<Para>The
<Function>DtEditorFormat</Function> function formats all or part of the contents of the DtEditor widget according
to the current text format settings in the Format
Settings dialog.
These options specify which margins and
alignments (left aligned, right aligned, justified or centered)
are used.
Optionally, alternative settings can be passed as an argument to
<Function>DtEditorFormat</Function> in a
data structure.
This function
formats either the paragraph containing the insertion cursor
or the entire contents of the DtEditor widget, depending on the value of the
<Emphasis>amountToFormat</Emphasis> argument.
</Para>
<Para>The Format Settings dialog is displayed with
&cdeman.DtEditorInvokeFormatDialog;. For a complete description of formatting and the Format Settings
dialog, see
<Classname>DtEditor</Classname>.</Para>
<Para>The
<Symbol Role="Variable">widget</Symbol> argument specifies the editor widget ID.
</Para>
<Para>The
<Emphasis>formatSettings</Emphasis> argument specifies left margin value, right margin value and the
justification style.
The LeftMargin and RightMargin fields of
<StructName Role="typedef">DtEditorFormatSettings</StructName> must be zero or larger.
The Alignment field can have a value of
<SystemItem Class="Constant">DtEDITOR_ALIGN_CENTER</SystemItem>, <SystemItem Class="Constant">DtEDITOR_ALIGN_JUSTIFY</SystemItem>, <SystemItem Class="Constant">DtEDITOR_ALIGN_LEFT</SystemItem> or
<SystemItem Class="Constant">DtEDITOR_ALIGN_RIGHT</SystemItem>. If the
<Emphasis>formatSettings</Emphasis> argument is
<SystemItem Class="Constant">NULL</SystemItem>, <Function>DtEditorFormat</Function> uses the last format settings specified in the Format Settings dialog.
</Para>
<Para>When the
<Emphasis>amountToFormat</Emphasis> argument is set to
<SystemItem Class="Constant">DtEDITOR_FORMAT_ALL</SystemItem>, it reformats all the text in the edit window.
When this argument is set to
<SystemItem Class="Constant">DtEDITOR_PARAGRAPH</SystemItem>, only the paragraph
containing the insertion cursor is formatted.
