Can we add a similar feature to the Script Editor?

I have recently conducted some research to understand the requirements for implementing this in the script editor.

Configuring the tab and indent properties is a straightforward process:

• Tabs
  • m_edit.SetTabWidth(8);
  • const auto tabWidth = m_edit.GetTabWidth();
• Indent s
  • m_edit.SetIndent(8);
  • const auto indentWidth = m_edit.GetIndent();
• Use Tabs Stops
  • m_edit.SetUseTabs(true);
  • const auto useTabStops = m_edit.GetUseTabs();

Writing the code for the Convert button is challenging. Fortunately, the source code for SciTE is freely available, and I can see how it performs the conversion. However, I need to adapt that code to be compatible with Meeting Schedule Assistant.

I will implement this feature once I have identified a viable solution.
