If you install CFormatting, it will register with TEdit the operation "SetCLooksOp" with the key $SetCLooks. When invoked this operation will associate looks to the characters selected in a way similar to how SetMesaLooks works. The formatter knows about (ANSI C) reserved keywords, C preprocessor keywords, and standard library routines, as well as some common aliases. It does not do any C preprocessing.

Also defined by CFormatting is the "CLooksAndIndentation" Tioga operation, which is like SetCLooksOp but also adds node structure depending on the nesting of the bracketing characters {[()]}. The node structure usually allows easier Tioga editing, but is different than the usual c indentation conventions.

The C style provides a set of useful abbreviations (while, if, etc) created by Peter Kessler and Michael Plass.

The easiest way is to use CLooksAndIndentation.

Another way is to use Dupri to convert white-space into tree nodes, and then C formatting to clean it up. On the way, you might want to set the style to C (and likely you will have to wait as Cedar fetches new fonts).

Or, you can do the transformation via REdit.

There is a version of the C compiler that uses a preprocessor that maps 015s into 012s and ignores anything after the first NULL. The compiler can be reached on the CSL Suns through /project/pcedar2.0/bin/ccc (for cedar cc, of course!)

The C compilers can be reached from Cedar/PCedar through ComplexCc. The UserProfile entry ComplexCc.CC defaults to "/bin/cc" and indicates the compiler to use; setting it to "/project/pcedar2.0/bin/ccc" will give you the special preprocessor.
