\section{What ctext is \


}
\leftindent{Ctext is a "source view"; an editing package used by EZ when 
editing C code.  See the  \helptopic{srctext}  help file for general 
information pertaining to all source views.

}
\section{Starting ctext}


\leftindent{At the command prompt, type "ez file.c" or "ez file.h" and 
press Enter.  Use of a .c or .h extension tells EZ to load the ctext 
editing package, according to specifications in the global initialization 
file for EZ, located in $ANDREWDIR/lib/global.ezinit.


If you create your own .ezinit file, you can override the global.ezinit 
file or add other file extensions that will load the ctext package.  You 
can also set various parameters of ctext, which are listed below in the 
section "Customizing ctext in your .ezinit file."  For details about 
initialization files, see the \helptopic{initfiles} help file.

\section{Getting back the old look}


\leftindent{If you  would prefer to have ctext style things the old way 
add:


\example{addfiletype .c ctext "template=ctextold"}


in your .ezinit or .atkinit.  (See the next section and the srctext help 
file for more options for ctext in your .ezinit and/or .atkinit.)

}
\section{Customizing ctext in your .ezinit file}


\leftindent{There are several parameters controlling ctext's behavior which 
you can set in your own .ezinit file.  They are listed in bold with the 
default setting in italic:  \



\leftindent{\bold{brace-indent \italic{0}}

Controls indentation of braces at the start of a line.


\bold{switch-label-undent \italic{4}}

Controls negative indent of switch labels.


\bold{switch-level-indent \italic{8}}

Controls indentation of statements within a switch.


}\leftindent{\bold{outdent-preproc \italic{1}}

If zero, preprocessor lines will be indented with the code.  By default, 
they will be outdented to the left margin.}


See the  \helptopic{srctext}  help file for more ezinit options.
