More on inline if expressions
In my previous post I announced that the code formatter now supports inline if expressions (aka ternary operators).

New contributor to GExperts
GExperts has been mostly a one man show for many years. A few people have contributed small improvements once in a while but mostly I was on my own. That shows in many places, but one area in particular has been neglected: The online help and documentation. I tried to make up for that with … Continue reading New contributor to GExperts
