The following instructions allow you to format source code files in Crimson Editor using FormatCode command line tool. We used a freeware version of Crimson Editor Version 3.70, so if you use an older or even a newer version then several screenshots or menu items may differ from our description.

4. Click "OK" to save settings.

You may now invoke FormatCode command line tool by two ways:
