Hi,

Thanks for a great editor. I am seriously considering switching...

I often work with large XML files and it would be so nice if Twistpad had an option to auto-format (aka pretty-print) XML.

For instance, the following:

<item name="Document"><field name="Title">The title</field></item>

should be formatted as:

<item name="Document">
<field name="Title">The title</field>
</item>

Of course, the indentation amount should be configurable.

Thanks!

Oops, the indenting was lost when posting. Here's another try:

<item name="Document">
<field name="Title">The title</field>
</item>

Or using dots for spaces:

<item name="Document">
..<field name="Title">The title</field>
</item>

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.
Twistpad is a general programming language editor, not specific, so I feel a bit out of it's scope to include a XML Formatter, a typical command in a XML Editor (which Twistpad isn't).

However this can be archived via plug-ins, already done and hopefully available soon to download is a plug-in for interaction with HTMLTidy via the TidyLib.dll which allows formatting for HTML and XML.

Thanks,
