Formatting XML / XSD files options [message #71502]

Hi everybody,

is there a possibility to define the way the XML and the XSD editor do
the formatting of text (right click with the mouse => Format => Document) ?

In my case I have some tags that contain text that should not be
(re)formatted.
...
<e>
textextextextex... <= should not be formatted
</e>
...

Is there something planned for further milestones? In the java / ant
editor there is something like "Formatter Options" that could do the job...

Thanks.,

Raphael

Hello Raphael,

you can set the XML formatter in windows->preferences->Web and XML->XML
files->XML Source. But I am not sure it will be sufficient for your
problem. I do not know if there is any formatter settings improvments
planned.

unfortuntely they are not sufficient, because if I set the line length
to 999 the Formatter also reformats text nodes between elements. And
that destroys in my case a lot of "human" structure I need...

thanks,

(are there impovements planned on the Formatter Configuration?)

Raphael, I'd encourage you to open a bugzilla bug (mark it as an
enhancement)and attach your xml file (formatted the way you like it)
along with any xsd or dtd you're using. As always, if you'd like to take
a crack at implementing the enhancement yourself I'd be happy to point you
to the relevant code.

thanks for your feedback!
