Remarks

Smart formatting is autoformatting of code done by the particular language. The edit point and Point are the boundaries for smart formatting. You can select smart formatting options separately for each language under the Text Editor node in the Options dialog box on the Tools menu.

The reformatting includes the lines containing the endpoints and adheres to global settings for smart formatting style (vsSmartFormatOptions).
