Xtend whitespace in templates [message #786866]

I originally posted this on SO: stackoverflow.com/questions/9061751/xtend-whitespace-templates but there doesn't seem to be much of an Xtend following, so I'll cross post here.

Reply in either spot, I'll check them both Smile

I'm trying to get an additional level of indentation at the first arrow, but no matter how much I add -- none comes out in the resultant string:

Seems pretty odd. In fact, I wouldn't expect any grey whitespace markings within the 2nd FOR-loop because the expression is (visually) at the same indentation level as the loop itself. Could you post the file somewhere? Maybe there's something wrong with the newlines that confuses Xtend?

Hi Eric,

the indentation of the FOR loop is relative to a template control
structure (the if) and the indentation of g.gen is again relative to a
control structure (the for). Both are considered to be present to
improve the template readability.
Please indent the IF itself to achieve the desired behavior.

if («ifex.cond.gen») {
«IF ...»
«FOR ..»
«g.gen»
^^^^^^^^ <- this will become grey in the line above
«ENDFOR»
«ENDIF»
}

Regards,
Sebastian
