formatting a jsp but skipping the undo stack [message #148370]

Hi,
I am inserting some text into a jsp page, then formatting the newly
inserted text by calling IStructuredFormatProcessor.formatDocument() for
the range of the new text.

This all works fine, the only problem is that the format operations all go
onto the undo stack.

So after the insert, if you press ctrl-Z, you first must cycle through
undoing all of the format operations before you can actually undo the
original insertion.

Is there a way to make the format operations skip the undo stack?

Thanks,
Scott

Not skip, no, but you can accumulate it into one big undoable
operations. If you look at the
StructuredTextViewer.doOperation(int) method, you'll see that the
format handling wraps the formatting between a beingRecording and
endRecording method. You'd need to do something similar around the
inserting and formatting of your text.
