One option is to use the EclipseTidy plugin from sourceforge. We are
looking at improving the formatting, some may make it into wtp 3.1 but
more than likely it'll be a 3.2 thing.
http://eclipsetidy.sourceforge.net/
Note that if you have any annotations or markers, that eclispetidy will
loose track of those, but it does a good job of formatting the document
and is highly configurable.

Thanks for your reply.
I've already given EclipseTidy a try. However, I use a special template
language which uses the <span> element heavily in order to include
template functions (such as if-blocks and so on). The span often
contains other elements (in a way that doesn't conform to the HTML
standard) and EclipseTidy is not able to handle this. It is also not
possible to change this behaviour via the properties in the property dialog.
Since I've already started to extend the HTML editor (code completion,
outline, validation) for this template language, I am absolutely willing
to add a custom formatting functionality via
StructuredTextViewerConfigurationHTML.getContentFormatter. I see two
ways, how this could be done:
- use a custom implementation similar to the existant WST HTML Formatter
- figure out how to configure JTidy to properly handle my template
language and do a custom integration (similar to EclipseTidy)
What do you think, which one is easier to implement?

Personally, I'd suggest trying to fix the current formatter and
contributing patches back to Eclipse. This way the community benefits.

Dave,
while I completely agree with you, I'm not sure, whether I'll be able to
do it this way. I've never contributed to a project like this before (so
it's about time to start, isn't it?). Maybe you can point me to some
resources where I can learn how to get involved (processes, workspace
set up, internal documentation, ?). I'd love to contribute and I think
that the missing HTML formatter is a real show-stopper.

Here are some resources to help get you started:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute
For getting the code you need, you'll want to check out the source code
from the WTP CVS repository. This is at /cvsroot/webtools.
The HTML information is going to be under the sourceediting/plugins and
sourceediting/test modules.
If all you are interested in working on and applying patches to is the
HTML then just check out the org.eclipse.wst.html.* related plugins.
After having reviewed this information available on the WTP wiki, I see
we are either very light on Community contribution guidelines and how
tos, or they aren't easy to find and need to be re-catagorized. I'll
see what I can come up with over the next month or two to address this
situation.
We really need updated and current team project sets as the Map files
are really only useful to committers.
Dave
