Printing Ardupilot Sketch Files
I have just spent about an hour trying to get a printout of the ardupliot code from the Arduino IDE. I cannot get the output to 'word wrap' so that, even using landscape format, some of the comments are truncated.
There must be something obvious that I am missing so could somebody enlighten me. I have tried copy&paste into notepad but I then loose the formatting and nice colours.

Try using a real text or code editor. The arduino environment is horrible for coding more than a few lines. In the preferences select "Use external editor" and pick your favorite code editor. I'm on a Mac using BBedit. Anyone have suggestions for PC users?

The Arduino IDE is pretty poor regarding this. Try getting Textpad. In the options you can set to show .pde files as C-files, which in turn enables nice syntax highlighting. Also printing goes well. If I'm able to find the right commandline options for the compiler, I might move the full development of Arduino towards Textpad instead of the standard IDE.

Thanks for recommending Textpad Rik. It looks like it will do the job very well
