Description Troy Giunipero 2008-08-16 12:57:42 UTC
When using the editor for html/jsp, often I find that when tags are completed, or if I invoke and use code-completion,
the IDE reformats the code automatically. The problem I find is that it assumes a certain format, which is not the one I
want.

For example:

Using <p> tags:

1. Enter a paragraph in the following format:

        <p>Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. In essence, Ajax is an efficient way for
            a web application to handle user interactions with a web page -- a way that reduces the need
            to do a page refresh or full page reload for every user interaction.

2. When you type in the closing <p> tag, the bottom line of the paragraph jumps to the left. This automatic behavior
occurs when choosing the closing tag from the pop-up, and it generally occurs when choosing Reformat.

Note:  This may not be a bug, but just something that I don't know how to disable. I would consider this a bug if this
behavior cannot be disabled.

Having some html and jsp specific formatting options like java support has would be great, I agree with the requirement.

Increasing priority to P1 based on the number of duplicates requesting such functinality. Some of the users says "do it as PHP does - it is great!". I assume this should really be addressed in THE next release.

Is it so difficult to implement an additional option?
It is really annoying to reformat CSS.
