Is it possible to highlight (select multiple lines) code and move it with the tab? In order to straighten my code I have to move each line unless there is a way I don't know about.

There is currently no option for this. I am not sure if the (third party) editor supports this.

you can use a third party editor connected to wysiwyg builder or do you mean copying code between the editor and third party?

First please note that WYSIWYG Web Builder is not a HTML Editor but a HTML Generator what this means is that the HTML doesn't exist till published. When Pablo refers to (third party) it is the one he has used is a licensed editor from a "third party" company that is incorporated into the software directly in C++.
There is no way for you yourself to add your own. What you will need to do in make the changes externally in the likes of Notepad+ then publish the HTML. The downside to this is when you open the project again in the software it uses the HTML pages and if you make any changes to it and save then the modification you made externally will get overwritten. Note this is as mentioned the software is not a HTML Editor so it doesn't keep any changes made externally as other editors do ie Dreamwever etc

maybe I am being misunderstood. I am talking about the html control editor inside WYSIWYG. When I add an HTML control to a page and then inside edit the code. I was hoping there is a way to NOT delete lines of code when multiple lines are selected and simply want to TAB them over. Seems like a simple thing but very agrivating when trying to line up the code. I am talking about before publishing.

The code editor that is used inside the HTML object was licensed from another company, because creating an editor like this from scratch would take a lot work.
The editor currently does not support indenting multiple lines.
But it may be added in the future.
