Re: Pretty Print HTML of WOComponents

Hi, Jürgen,

I've found that the HTML reformatting feature (pretty printing) still  
works, but selectively. It only hierarchically indents HTML lines  
that are separated. Unfortunately, when you add HTML to a component  
through the menus in Layout View, it adds the HTML with no line breaks.

I use a two step process in Source View that seems to work reasonably  
well:

   1. Use Find/Replace to replace every occurrence of "><" with ">[nl] 
<" (where "[nl]" is a new line character).

   2. Use the Format->Reformat HTML menu item (or Cmd-R) to reformat  
(pretty print).

I'm generally not pleased with this necessity, but the benefit is  
that the reformatting will no longer arbitrarily break up tags that  
you want left on the same line (e.g. where you have several table  
cells in a row with very little text in them: "<td>a couple text  
words</td>").

Regards,
Jerry
