Use this page to configure formatting options for CFML files. View the result in the
Preview pane on the right.
On this page:
Spaces
Use this tab to specify where you want spaces in your code. To have IntelliJ IDEA automatically insert a space at a location,
select the check box next to this location in the list.
The results are displayed in the Preview pane.
Wrapping and braces
In this tab, customize the code style options, which IntelliJ IDEA will apply on
reformatting the source code. The left-hand pane contains the list of exceptions
(Keep when reformatting), and placement and alignment options for the various code
constructs (lists, statements, operations, annotations, etc.) The right-hand pane shows preview.
Alignment takes precedence over indentation options.
Right Margin (columns)
Use Right Margin field to specify a margin space required on the right side of an
element. If you select Default option then a value of the right margin from the
global settings is used.
Keep when reformatting
Use the check boxes to configure exceptions that IntelliJ IDEA will make when reformatting the source code.
For example, by default, the Line breaks check box is selected. If your code contains lines that are shorter than a
standard convention, you can convert them by disabling the Line breaks check box before you reformat the source code.
Wrapping options
The wrapping style applies to the various code constructs, specified in the left-hand pane (for example, method call arguments, or assignment statements).

<character(s)> on next line | Select this check box to have the specified character or characters moved to the next line
when the lines are wrapped. |
'else' on new line | Use this check box to have the corresponding statements or characters moved to the next line. |
New line after <character>

Otherwise, else if statements are moved to the next line to
the corresponding indent level.
