formular syntax code editor

Joachim Mund

Hi all,

I have some complex and long formulas in my sheet wit a lot of brackets.

Do you know any syntax editor which I can use to document and analyse the formulas?

Should have highlighting for opening and closing brackets etc.

Thanks

@Joachim Mund Anyone of the text editors like Atom or Vscode either do bracket matching out of the box or via a plugin you can install.

https://code.visualstudio.com/

There are also some online bracket checkers that I use when I am lazy:

Hi Mary,

thank you for your tipps, http://www.balancebraces.com/ is realy nice.

I forgot to mention, that it should be an online editor and I would like to have an integration into google docs.

I like to work with my chromebook in the G-Suite environment.

This might help.

@Andrée Starå yes, I tried it, but it does only formatting and no bracket highlighting.

In the meantime I have found https://texteditor.co which saves to google drive, but an embededd solution for google docs would be easier.

Ok.

Yes, I saw the texteditor one, but didn't include it because of the requirement that it should integrate with Google Docs.

Just come across this thread.

I've attached a screen grab - using Visual Studio parsed as Java and the Bracket Pair Colorizer 2 extension.
