About outlining in Structured Text routines

Use outlining to organize a Structured Text routine into collapsible segments. Define segments automatically using automatic outlining, or by marking specific regions.

When automatic outlining is enabled, the editor creates a collapsible outline segment when a line starts with

#region

,

if

,

while

,

repeat

,

for

, and

case

, and ends with the matching end construct, such as

#endregion

or

end_if

.

View the contents of a collapsed segment without expanding it by hovering the cursor over the segment. To expand and collapse all the segments in a routine at once, on the main menu, select

Edit > Outlining > Expand all outlining

or

Edit > Outlining > Collapse all outlining

.
