# Indent Guides

The **Indent Line** feature adds subtle vertical guide lines in Blender’s Text Editor to indicate indentation levels—similar to the visual style found in editors like **VS Code**. This helps you quickly identify code blocks, especially when working with nested structures like functions, loops, and conditionals.

### **❓How It Works**

* The addon calculates the indentation level of each line in the text editor.
* It draws a light vertical guide at each indent level.
* The guides update in real-time as you type, delete, or adjust indentation.
* Works with both **spaces** and **tabs** (follows your Blender Text Editor indentation settings).
