then - This option affects the then keyword placement:
Leave as is
On a new line - then is moved on a new line
On the same line - then is moved on the same line with it's construct
| Initial code | Leave as is | On a new line | On the same line |
 |

Parameters - This option affects port, generic, map, function and procedure elements:
Leave as is
One per line (open parenthesis on the same line) - each parameter/argument is placed on it's own line and the open parentheses is placed on the same line with the parameter/argument receiver
One per line (open parenthesis on the next line) - each parameter/argument is placed on it's own line and the open parentheses is placed on the next line after the parameter/argument receiver
More per line - more are placed on the same line, as fit when line wrapping is enabled
| Initial code & Leave as is | One per line (open parenthesis on the same line) | One per line (open parenthesis on the next line) | More per line |

Don't indent single line comments at first column - This option affects single line comments that start at column zero. It is useful to disable the indentation for whole regions of code that are block commented, for example by using Ctrl + /. When enabled, single line comments that start at column zero are not indented.

Indent multi-line comments - This option affects multi-line comments ( /* ... */). When enabled, multi-line comments are indented.
