Question Auto indent in vi

Hi,

I use vi for my text editing. Is there a way to use smart indentation?
that is when adding a '{' or '}' that the editor will jump and advance, or any other thing like that?

thanks

FBB::Indent(3bobcat)						 Text Indentation					      FBB::Indent(3bobcat)

NAME
FBB::Indent - Configurable text indentation SYNOPSIS
#include <bobcat/indent> DESCRIPTION
FBB::Indent and its various manipulators offer text-indentation. Text inserted into streams is indented over a fully configurable amount using a set of manipulators and (static) member functions. NAMESPACE
FBB All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB. INHERITS FROM
- STATIC MEMBER FUNCTIONS
o void clear(): Resets the indentation level to zero. The indent manipulator will have no visible effect after calling this member. o void dec(): Reduces the indentation level by the current increment (4 by default). The indentation level is never reduces to a negative value. o void inc(): Increments the indentation level by the current increment (4 by default). o void setInc(size_t inc): Defines the increment value used with the dec and inc members. o void setWidth(size_t width): Defines the indentation to a specific value width. MANIPULATORS
The following manipulators (which are not part of the FBB::Indent, class, but are defined in the FBB namespace) can be inserted into the FBB::Indent object: o FBB::decindent: This manipulator will first call Indent::dec. Then FBB::indent is called. The effect will be that the indentation level is reduced just before the indentation is inserted. o FBB::incindent: This manipulator will first call Indent::inc. Then FBB::indent is called. The effect will be that the indentation level is incre- mented just before the indentation is inserted. o FBB::indent: This manipulator will insert the currently defined number of indentation blanks into the ostream for which it it called. o FBB::indentdec: This manipulator will first call FBB::indent, Then Indent::dec is called. The effect will be that the indentation is inserted first, immediately followed by a reduction of the indentation level. o FBB::indentinc: This manipulator will first call FBB::indent, Then Indent::inc is called. The effect will be that the indentation is inserted first, immediately followed by a increment of the indentation level. o FBB::nlindent: This manipulator will insert a newline character ( ). Then FBB::indent is called, indenting the next line over the currently defined number of blanks. EXAMPLE
using namespace std; using namespace FBB; int main() { cout << indentinc << "Not indented" << nlindent << "Indenting with 4 blanks "; Indent::clear(); cout << "No indentation "; } FILES
