Description brettryan 2015-08-14 07:42:12 UTC 
Given the code

    <ol class="breadcrumb">
      <c:choose>
        <c:when test="${empty lineplan}">
          <li class="selected">Line Plans</li>
        </c:when>
        <c:otherwise>
          <li><a href="<c:url value="/product/lineplans"/>">Line Plans</a></li>
        </c:otherwise>
      </c:choose>
    </ol>

Invoking Source > format will result in:

    <ol class="breadcrumb">
      <c:choose>
        <c:when test="${empty lineplan}">
          <li class="selected">Line Plans</li>
          </c:when>
          <c:otherwise>
          <li><a href="<c:url value="/product/lineplans"/>">Line Plans</a></li>
          </c:otherwise>
        </c:choose>
    </ol>

Note this does not apply if the list elements are expanded as in the following:

    <ol class="breadcrumb">
      <c:choose>
        <c:when test="${empty lineplan}">
          <li class="selected">
            Line Plans
          </li>
        </c:when>
        <c:otherwise>
          <li>
            <a href="<c:url value="/product/lineplans"/>">Line Plans</a>
          </li>
        </c:otherwise>
      </c:choose>
    </ol>

Which formats correctly.

I have also tested with the 8.1 beta.

Would really like to see this addressed. I use Alt-Shift-F (Source>Format) ALL the time while writing JSPs and fixing indentations manually all the time tends to interrupt my work flow.
