Comment formatting seems to have added a line break in the test case I put in the initial post. Before formatting, the xml file has only two line breaks, one before the <test> start tag and one after the </test> end tag which ends the document. That feature requires you to reference a grammar that declares the element as having #PCDATA for content. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Type_Definition#Element_type_declarations . |
Build Identifier: 20110615-0604 Assuming I understand just what PCDATA content is, then the "Preserve whitespace in tags with PCDATA content" option in "Window->Preferences->XML->XML Files->Editor" doesn't seem to be stopping the xml formatter from inserting extra whitespace (e.g. line breaks) into tags with PCDATA content. With that option checked, and with line width set to 5, I format the following xml (using Shift-Ctrl-F). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <test><line1>This is a test of <i>the</i> emergency broadcasting system.</line1><line2>This is only a test.</line2></test> I expect something like this... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <test> <line1>This is a test of <i>the</i> emergency broadcasting system.</line1> <line2>This is only a test.</line2> </test> but what I get is this... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <test> <line1> This is a test of <i> the </i> emergency broadcasting system. </line1> <line2> This is only a test. </line2> </test> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an xml file with the above contents. 2. In XML editor settings, change line width to "5" and check "Preserve whitespace in tags with PCDATA content". 3. Open the file you created and format it by typing Shift-Ctrl-F.
