Changing font size in the automatic source code documentation

[Paul_Knight_Lockheed_Mart]

I would like to use the automatic source code documentation to document my functions.  So I used the ///HIFN on my normal function header, but when displayed the message is messed up due to the difference between sizes of characters/spaces in the font for the Show/Prototype ? message.

Is there a way to change the message font to a font like Courier New where each character/space is the same size.  I have tried to change all the fonts in the Options\Font preferences.

Hey Paul - 

One way to do this would be to embed HTML directly into the documentation -

Nick,

Thanks, it kinda messes up the look of the source code since every function header would have to have the html added to the beginning and end.  Makes reading a little bit more difficult.

Nick,

Also for some reason the HTML does not like spaces it took 30 spaces and combine them into 1.

Paul,

HTML interprets a bunch of spaces as just one space.  If you want to represent a space in HTML and have it display correctly, you have to use the ' ' character (though this will make your comments even more unreadable)  I will file a product suggestion on your behalf to change the default font in the documentation viewer, and in the future, you can file suggestions yourself as well at http://digital.ni.com/applications/psc.nsf/default?OpenForm .  The developers look at these suggestions and take them into account when determining what features to include in future versions of the software.
