. Note that by default, when creating a new comment, the Javadoc Editor is displayed for all
file types except C#. To work around this limitation, start an XML comment with "///" and then right-click in
the edit window and select Edit XML Comments.
Unknown XML tags are left "as is" and not removed.
XML Beautifier
To beautify XML source code, from the main menu click Format
→
Beautify (or use the gui_beautify
command). The XML Beautifier dialog appears, where you can specify preferences for how the code is
beautified.
Caution
The XML Beautifier is not affected by XML/HTML Formatting . If you run the beautifier on docu-
ments that have been automatically formatted through XML/HTML Formatting, you may find un-
expected results.
You can use the commands xml_beautify or xml_beautify_selection to instantly beautify the file or the
selection according to the settings on the Beautifier dialog.
Note
The XSD Beautifier contains the same options and settings as the XML Beautifier.
The following buttons and options are available on the Beautifier:
• Beautify - Beautifies current selection or buffer and closes the dialog box.
• Reset - Restores the dialog box settings to the values that appeared when you invoked the dialog.
• Save Settings - Saves beautify options in uformat.ini file. These settings are used by the
xml_beautify command.
• Restrict to selection - When on, only lines in the selection are beautified.
• Sync extension options - When on, the extension options are updated to reflect any changes that
these dialogs have in common.
The tabs on the XML Beautifier are described in the sections below.
