The Editor window is the main area for writing and editing code. More than one Editor window can be open at the same time. The Eclipse PHP Editor enables you to work in both PHP and HTML simultaneously.
The Editor preference types are:
Code Assist offers a wide selection of code assistance features including code completion, PHP, HTML, classes, member variables, variables, keyword, and object code completion listings. Lists are comprised from declarations as well as most of the standard PHP and HTML.**
Code folding enables you to “collapse” sections of a source code file while working in other parts of it. This enables you to manage larger amounts of code within one window, without getting lost in a morass of complexity. A folding point is typically a method or a function but can also be an entire class or something as small as an if-then-else block or comment section.
The Eclipse PDT supports combined hover, variables value, PHPDoc and source. The Quick Diff feature provides a color-coded change indication while you are typing. When the mouse cursor is placed over a change in the vertical ruler, the hover displays the original content, which can be restored using the ruler's context menu.
The Syntax highlighting feature enables you to display text in different colors and fonts according to the specific syntax (category of term).
The Eclipse PDT Editor can color several languages at the same time and is user configurable in the Preferences window.
