 +=== Pretty Printing ===
 +
 +Assuming you have Python installed, pretty printing (aka formatting) of JSON is very easy with Geany:
 +
 +  * Python is required (works with Python 2 and 3)
 +  * Configure Geany: Edit->Format->Send Selection to->Set Custom Commands
 +  * In the dialog add a new command and simply use: //python -mjson.tool//
 +
 +To use this, select some string in Geany and use Edit->Format->Send Selection to-><your configured command> and Geany will replace the string by the converted version.
 +Alternatively, you can use the shortcut Ctrl-<number> in case your command is one of the first three configured commands.
 +For details, read the [[http://www.geany.org/manual/#sending-text-through-custom-commands|documentation about Send Selection to commands]].
