This Appendix focuses on the feature set of Code::Blocks. Apart from code editing, managing, and building, Code::Blocks has numerous other features. It can be scripted to extend features of Code::Blocks. It has plugin to generate documentation of code. It is also able to export code in different formats such as rich text format, portable document format, and so on. It can also manage snippets of code to ease the development process. We shall discuss about them in the next couple of sections.
Code::Blocks uses Squirrel language for scripting. Squirrel language is a high-level, object oriented, and light weight programming language. Squirrel syntax is similar to C/C++ programing language.
Code::Blocks exposes a large amount of its API via scripting. As a result several aspects of Code::Blocks can be extended via scripting.
