Word Wrapping and XML Markup
jEdit should be able to automatically format XML files
in a more advanced way.
e.g. <XML-TAG-1 ...><XML-TAG-2> should be split between
the 2 tags, i.e. between the ending ...> and the
beginning <... .
Currently, jEdit is NOT able to recognize this as a
valid word wrap splitting point.
Also, jEdit should be able to automatically indent and
format the XML in a more readable fashion, e.g.:
<XML-TAG-1 ...
_... TAG may continue IF it does NOT fit on one LINE
_<- BUT let it be slightly indented
_...> # END OF TAG
____<XML-TAG-2; INDENT IF nested within previous TAG
... and so on
This should all be done automatically.
I will attach a good file to test such options.

Logged In: YES user_id=187628 Just checking -- are you aware of the XMLIndenter plugin? It does a pretty good job of formatting xml files. I've attached a copy of your example file formatted with XMLIndenter for your perusal. |

Logged In: YES user_id=187628 I should have mentioned that XMLIndenter is not a separate plugin anymore, it's part of the XML plugin and is compatible with the Beauty plugin. |

Logged In: YES user_id=1530503 Indeed, I missed the XML-plugin. [Sorry for this, my fault.] However, there are still 2 issues that would be great to implement: - IF I choose word-wrap, and the TAG is continued on a second line, it would be nice to indent the 2-... lines by 1-2 spaces: <TAG-START ... _<- TAG continues BUT is indented a little bit - again, IF word-wrap is selected, I would like to have some other line-breaking points, like after ";" in a TAG (rare occurence, but may occur) Nevertheless, great program! |
