Description Rasmus Lund CLA 2011-02-18 04:05:12 EST
Build Identifier: 3.2.2.v201008170019-377AB8s73533J5H335L

when doing formatting of XML code, it would be really nice, if xmlns attributes and xsi:schemaLocation COULD be treated differently than other types of attributes.

Usually I like attributes to be listed on the same line as the element opening tag itself. But with namespaces I like each name space declaration to be on it's own line.

Furthermore I like special formatting of xsi:schemaLocation, so each namespace to location pair gets a separate line.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. n/a

Thanks for your request. There are a lot of things that could go into customizing the XML formatting experience. Any patches to move us along would be greatly appreciated.
Comment 2 Zohar Amir CLA 2015-11-23 23:54:02 EST
are there any plans to include this in eclipse (I noticed it's been here for a while now...)?
Comment 3 Zohar Amir CLA 2015-12-06 08:12:29 EST
why is there no response here since Feb 2011? can I do anything to help get this done?
Comment 4 Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2016-01-20 10:59:39 EST
As was said in comment 1, high quality patches implementing the changes. Even examples of the intended formatting would be useful for someone looking to implement it.

example

an example I made up.
notice how the namespace attributes are each on it's own line, while the other attributes (e.g., attr2-1, attr2-2, attr-2-3) are on the same line.
I find it easier to read, maybe because the namespace attributes are longer by nature.

example sent on January. is there any plan to implement this? 
it's something I keep doing almost every day - indenting the namespaces manually...
