The 'Code Compress' and 'Code Pretty' menu options need clearer text descriptions.
Perhaps this is just a minor issue with the text, but it's really confusing for people new to this editor.
I originally thought that 'Code Pretty' included all code types, especially since the documentation helpfully provides assistance for Astyle.
However, I later discovered that this feature seems to be limited to CSS, JavaScript, JSON, and JSON5.
As a lightweight text editor, Notepad4 probably doesn't intend to introduce too many features to replace an IDE, as this would inevitably lead to bloat.
My current request is simply to have the word 'JSON' appear in the menu option, or at least indicate that it's not a universal code tool.
It's really confusing for a novice who has just written some code to find 'Code Compress' and 'Code Pretty' buttons, only to discover that they don't work.

English translation from AI, original text follows to avoid ambiguity:
"代码压缩" 和 "代码美化" 菜单选项需要有更清晰的文本描述.
或许这只是一个文本描述上的小问题, 但对刚接触这个编辑器的人来说真的很困惑.

我原先以为这个 "代码美化" 是包括了所有代码, 因为 doc 里甚至贴心给出了 Astyle 的帮助.
但我随后发现这个功能似乎只针对于 CSS, JavaScript, JSON and JSON5.
Notepad4 作为一个轻量级文本编辑器应该不太会有引入太多功能去取代 IDE 的想法, 因为这样会不可避免的变得越来越臃肿.

现在我只是希望这个菜单选项上可以有 JSON 字样, 至少要表明这不是个通用代码工具.
因为新手刚写完一段代码发现有 "代码压缩" 和 "代码美化" 功能的按钮, 结果点击发现无效真的会很困惑.
