<h2>The EvEditor to edit code<a class="headerlink" href="#the-eveditor-to-edit-code" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">EvEditor</span></code> is also used to edit some Python code in Evennia. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&#64;py</span></code> command supports an
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/edit</span></code> switch that will open the EvEditor in code mode. This mode isn’t significantly different
from the standard one, except it handles automatic indentation of blocks and a few options to
control this behavior.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:&lt;</span></code> to remove a level of indentation for the future lines.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:+</span></code> to add a level of indentation for the future lines.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:=</span></code> to disable automatic indentation altogether.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Automatic indentation is there to make code editing more simple. Python needs correct indentation,
not as an aesthetic addition, but as a requirement to determine beginning and ending of blocks. The
EvEditor will try to guess the next level of indentation. If you type a block “if”, for instance,
the EvEditor will propose you an additional level of indentation at the next line. This feature
cannot be perfect, however, and sometimes, you will have to use the above options to handle
indentation.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:=</span></code> can be used to turn automatic indentation off completely. This can be very useful when trying
to paste several lines of code that are already correctly indented, for instance.</p>
<p>To see the EvEditor in code mode, you can use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&#64;py/edit</span></code> command. Type in your code (on one or
several lines). You can then use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:w</span></code> option (save without quitting) and the code you have
typed will be executed. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:!</span></code> will do the same thing. Executing code while not closing the
editor can be useful if you want to test the code you have typed but add new lines after your test.</p>
