Dedicated text editors - such as SciTE, Emacs or Notepad++ - often have options
to format source code in various ways. You can do things such as changing
spaces to tabs or indenting code. I would like to request that the next version
of POV-Ray also have these features.
Thanks!

POV-Ray is a renderer, not a text editor. That being said, the Windows
version (and, I believe, the Mac) already has such options available.
In addition, SciTE and Emacs have POV-Ray compatible syntax support. I
don't know about Notepad++.

No, but it is an IDE, and it's pretty common for IDEs to have such options for
the types of source code they support... And, in case you haven't noticed, you
do in fact spend a lot of time editing text (POV-Ray SDL is stored in text
format), so it is in fact a text editor.

As Ben mentioned, the POV-Ray Windows editor already has some of these
features.
The editor preferences panel provides an option to change tabs to spaces
while typing (though I don't see a 'spaces to tabs' option). The Text menu
allows you to indent or unindent blocks of SDL. Another feature I find very
useful in the Windows editor is the Ctrl-Click, which allows you to select
columns of text and edit those selected columns (I usually use that for
indentation rather than the indent option on the Text menu).
Regards,
Chris B.

OK, thanks. I didn't notice these until I checked again later.
