[Geany-Users] enabling automatic indentation/unindentation in Lua

I've been using Geany on Ubuntu 'Precise' 12.04 for a year (both 1.21 
and now 1.23.1 since it came out). I'm no programmer ( far from it!) and 
I've only gotten my hands and fingers to work well enough, since my 
stroke, to have any competence at typing. The big thing I liked in Scite 
was its ability to automatically indent based on Lua rules. I can't even 
get that to work in Scite now. Is there any way to do that with Geany? 
Can I set it to indent such lines as 'for' or 'do' and, possibly, 
UNindent 'end' lines? I mean short of C coding. I've tried fiddling with 
all the settings in Preferences but I'm just not competent enough to 
make the auto indentation work for Lua. (It's a struggle just to make 
Lua do what I want)

Thanks for any help or trying to help.
Doug
