VHDL Prettifier for Windows

[Matt]

Anyone know of a VHDL code prettifier for windows? The best thing I have
seen so far is the extension for emacs, which works, but adds spaces rather
than tabs, making the code a pain to edit afterward.

Not if you edit it in Emacs :-) It then treats them as tabs while
editing...

Cheers,

You can also set 'Vhdl Indent Tabs Mode' to 'on' (VHDL | Options |
Mode), or you could call M-x tabify by hand before saving the file.

I don't see such a menu option in what I am using, and I think I exhausted
the menus searching through them. I tried the tabify command but emacs only
indents 2 spaces, so they don't turn to tabs. Maybe I'll do some more
messing with that later.

I did download version 21.3 which I believe is the newest as of right now.
I like the side panel showing all the .vhd files. Now if only it'd put them
in heirarchical format I'd just use emacs as my editor rather than Webpack
from Xilinx.

If you are not a fan of emacs, you may want to give Ultraedit a trial
download. It supports the pretties you want & it's what I use for all my vhdl
editing. You need to download a "wordfile" for vhdl or vhdl93 which it will
use for syntax highlighting. Probably less powerful than emacs in terms of
text completions, but still my fave.

Oh, but it is $35 . . .
