Divider Draw Level

• Lazarus 0.9.26

This option will draw a horizontal line based on the code folding level you specified.

Example:

• If you set this option to 1, the editor will draw a horizontal divider line in the editor after the 'end' keyword of each method. This is very handy if you want a visual cue where methods start and end.
• If you set this option to 2, it will draw another horizontal line after the 'end' keyword of any nested begin..end block inside methods.
• The higher you set the value the more nested begin..end blocks will be included.

• Lazarus 0.9.28

Allows to draw a vertical line at the end of selected structures. E.g draw a line after each procedure. See Divider drawing
