Note:
This is a cross post: at: stackoverflow.

Got no right answer, so I forward it here,

I am using eclipse-jee-helios-SR1-win32,I found that it can not format the html file well,please check this img(this is effection after I use the "ctrl+shift+F"):

As the img shown , it does not format the file perfectly. The body tag should be indented.

I have not set any setting about the HTML-editor,all of the configuration are default.

Also I just did not install any plugins expect the Spoket.

So I wonder why?

This is the file formatted by the NetBeans, it work well, however I do not like that IDE.

Mr. Bond, we are currently investigating a fix for this through https://bugs.eclipse.org/203252 which would is targeted for the next service release of Helios.

The background on it is that in the distant past, it was requested that only a certain subset of tags be indented (you can see that ul, ol, table, and some others properly indent) as this was the "proper" style. I don't know if that holds true today.
