The following instructions allow you to format source code files in EmEditor Text Editor using FormatCode command line tool. We used a free trial version of EmEditor Version 6.00.2, so if you use an older or even a newer version then several screenshots or menu items may differ from our description.

Add a Tool Menu that will invoke FormatCode

1. Click "Tools" -> "External Tools" -> "Customize Tools...".

2. Click the "New" button to add a new tool menu.

3. Assuming you installed FormatCode in C:\Program Files\FormatCode\, fill in the form as show below:

Title: FormatCode
Command: C:\Program Files\FormatCode\FormatCode.exe
Arguments: $(Path)
Initial Directory: $(Dir)
Icon Path: (Leave blank, or you can specify an icon for it.)

4. Click "OK" to save settings.

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