Hello!

The Jedi Code Formatter puts one space character at these places.
Is there any option to control space count at the following places
(procedure calls and declarations)?

AddLVItemCol(LI,<here>C,<here>format(FS,<here>V));

procedure TfrmMain.AddLVItemCol(LI : TListItem;<here>C :
boolean;<here>const FS : TLotteryString;<here>const V : array of
const);

Thanks

Lazarus itself is able to do that.  Look at the Lazarus' configuration
dialog, Codetools > Space section.

Thank you for your answer! But how can I apply those settings to a
specific part of the  source code or the entire file?

There are two different approaches here.

Codetools options mostly affect 'live' code as you type it (though the
Code Browser has some reformatting functionality).

The Jedi formatter processes persistent (already typed) code, to
massage it into the format you desire. However, it may not have a
feature you desire, and it does not know about some syntaxes  such as
FPC's generics convention (which was actually introduced before
Delphi's).
Someone who uses and knows the Jedi formatter would know if what you
want is possible, and if so could point you in the right direction.
