Markdown code style settings

Use this page to configure formatting options for Markdown files. When you change these settings, the Preview pane shows how this will affect your code.

Wrapping and Braces

Configure the options for breaking lines.

Hard wrap at	Specify at which column to put a line break. GoLand shows a vertical line at the specified column and breaks lines between words, not within words.
Wrap on typing	Add line breaks as you type. Disable this option to add line breaks only when GoLand performs formatting.
Wrap long text	Enable hard wrapping.
Wrap text inside block quotes	Enable hard wrapping for block quotes.
Visual guides	Show an additional vertical line at the specified column.
When reformatting	Configure additional actions to perform during reformatting. Keep line breaks inside text blocks: Do not remove line breaks within paragraphs. Insert block quote arrows: Add the block quote marker (the "greater than" character `>`) at the beginning of each line in a block quote.

Tabs and Indents

Configure the options for nesting text blocks and alignment within a block.

Use tab character	Use the tab character for indentation. Disable this option to use spaces for indentation.
Smart tabs	Nest blocks with tabs and align with spaces. Disable this option to use only tabs and replace spaces that fit the specified tab size with tabs.
Tab size	Specify the number of spaces to render in place of one tab character.
Indent	Specify the number of spaces used for each indentation level.
Continuation indent	Specify the number of spaces used for continuing the same text block.
Keep indents on empty lines	Retain tabs and spaces on empty lines. By default, this option is disabled and GoLand removes all tabs and spaces if there is nothing else on that line.

Blank Lines

Set the maximum and minimum number of blank lines to keep for various text elements.

Around header	Before and after chapter headings.
Around block elements	Before and after code blocks.
Between paragraphs	Between two adjacent paragraphs.

Spaces

Specify which elements should have exactly one space.

Between words	Remove extra spaces between words.
After header symbol	Remove extra spaces or add a missing space between the heading symbol and the heading title.
After list marker	Remove extra spaces or add a missing space between the list item marker and the list item text.
After blockquote marker	Remove extra spaces or add a missing space between the block quote marker and the text of the block quote.
