I'm doing a presentation using Beamer in TexMaker. The structure of the LaTeX source code is deeply nested and I need a way to format the code as in most programming IDE. Is this feature present in TexMaker or any other editor?

don't know about TeXmaker, but I wrote indent.plx for this task- I've detailed how to use it in LaTeX code sniffer and/or beautifier? – cmhughes Feb 1 at 21:04
I saw this thread today, but I'm more interested to have it built-in the editor, than to run manually every time I want nice structure. – damluar Feb 1 at 21:06
I found this thread: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/38618/source-code-indentation, but there is no answer and I'm more interested not in subsection formatting, but rather in frame, columns, items elements. – damluar Feb 1 at 21:10
Could you give us an example of what you’re looking for, i.e. what code looks like “in most programming IDEs”? – doncherry Feb 1 at 22:00
AFAIK, Texmaker already does some automatic tabbing when you hit Return key but not when doing stuff like tabular tabbing. As for setting color themes, you can click Options > Configure Texmaker > Editor and choose appropriate theme or modify the colors to your liking. – hpesoj626 Feb 2 at 1:50

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

On the maker's website it says that you can 'collapse' the code of parts of a document. You could also create 'bookmarks' and label them as you wish, if tabbing blocks of text is not sufficient by itself.

I want to format latex code, to make it look nicer. Not to add a bookmark or tab a block. – damluar Feb 17 at 16:14
Well, other than tabbing there's probably nothing you can you do. – User 17670 Feb 17 at 16:24
