Automatic Indentation As You Type
=================================

.. rst-class:: lead

The auto-indentation preference allows you to choose how the code is automatically indented as you type.

You can choose the auto-indentation mechanism from: :menuselection:`Window -> Preferences -> DVT -> SystemVerilog -> Editor`. 

Available options are:

-  **Disabled**: Auto-indentation will not be performed.
-  **Old Engine**: Auto-indentation of a new line matches the indentation of the last line.
-  **Advanced**: Auto-indentation is in line with the formatter's indentation.
