Description ota 2009-10-20 16:42:55 UTC 
It would be great if the html source formatting automatism would add a newline after every closing html tag if another
opening tag is following.

Reason: When working with external, unformatted (example: one liners) code the option is useless in its current state.

Example: Try to format the source code of following ebay page: http://antiques.shop.ebay.com/
You will notice that the code is only indented but still not well formatted and readable.
Comment 1 David Konecny 2009-10-21 01:43:15 UTC 
Agreed. At the moment we basically have just indentation engine but no real formatting engine which would allow you
"prettify" document.

Sorry Marek, I did not mean to reassign the issue to you - I just assigned it to default owner of the component. I did write indentation code but I have no plans to work on this issue/area.
Comment 4 Marek Fukala 2013-06-12 05:04:21 UTC 
That's ok. I was thinking about reassigning all the indentation issues to myself anyway as you are busy with different stuff.
Comment 5 David Konecny 2013-06-12 22:47:45 UTC 
I'm still happy to help with the indentation issues. Luckily there are not many new issues.

Anything new here?
Comment 8 Christian Lenz 2016-02-06 12:12:41 UTC 
happens for CSS too.
Comment 9 Christian Lenz 2016-04-29 08:46:35 UTC 
It is not possible to format HTML or CSS when you copy minified code or code which is in one line. Have to switch to another application.

I will close it, because it will handled now at the JIRA board: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1640. Please discuss it there for further information.
