How do I expand the line number column in Scite for a large AutoIT script?

[Tippex]

I have a large AutoIT script (preferring to keep as much of it together rather than using includes) and I wish to expand the line number column in Scite from the default 5 digits to 6.

Does anyone know how this may be done please?

Are you using the SciTE version that came with the Autoit3 installer or separate installer?

This is from the Helpfile that comes with the Full version:

Quote

line.margin.visible line.margin.width

SciTE is able to display a column of line numbers to the left of the selection margin. Setting line.margin.visible to 1 makes this column visible at startup. The line.margin.width property controls how much space is reserved for the line numbers, in terms of the number of digits that can be displayed. To specify that the margin should expand if needed to accommodate larger line numbers, add a '+' after the number of digits, e.g. line.margin.width=3+.

99999 lines or more is a lot of autoit code. Out of interest. What are you writing?

Thank you so much!
