Hi,

HTML auto-indent isn't working for me (also doesn't work when I have HTML embedded in JSPs). I tried setting the indent size in Web -> HTML Files -> Editor. But, this has no effect. Any suggestions?

Greg

What version of Eclipse and WTP are you running?

By Auto indent do you mean that when you hit enter after a start tag it is not auto indenting to the next level?

Thanks,

~Ian

Hi,

I'm actually running Springsource Tool Suite. Eclipse Platform: 3.5.1. WTP: 3.1.1.

Thanks!

Greg,

Currently the implementation of Auto indent is that when a new line is created (such as when pressing the ENTER key) the new line should be at the same indentation level as the previous line.

If your problem is that when you create a new line it is not created at the same indentation level as the previous line then that is a bug. If you were hoping that the new line would be automatically indented another indentation level under the previous line, that is currently not the functionality. If the problem is the former then that is a bug that should be reported on Bugzilla, if the latter then you could submit an Enhancement request on Bugzilla as well.

As for the "indent size" setting, as you will notice that setting is under the "Formatting" group. Thus the setting refers to the type and size of the indents used when using the document formater on an HTML document.

Greg,

I just did some searching and there is currently a bug open for auto indenting the new line an additional level under the previous line.
Bug 109046 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/109046)
