SlickEdit User Guide

XML AND HTML
The following settings are available:
• Indent for each level (Syntax indent) - The amount to indent for each new nesting level. We
have put the words “Syntax indent” in parenthesis to help indicate that this field has the same
value as the Syntax indent text box on the language-specific Indent options screen (see
Language-Specific Indent Options). By default, we initialize this text box with your current
extension setup setting.
• Indent with tabs - When on, tab characters are used for leading indent of lines. This value
defaults to the Tabs text box on the language-specific Indent options screen (see Language-
Specific Indent Options).
• Tab size - Specifies output tab size. The output tab size is only used if Indent with tabs check box
is on. This value defaults to the Syntax indent text box on the language-specific Indent options
screen (see Language-Specific Indent Options).
• Original tab size - Specifies what the original file's tab expansion size was. We need to know the
tab expansion size of your original file to handle reusing indent amounts from your original file.
Currently the beautifier only reuses the original source file's indenting for comments. This option
has no effect if the original file has no tab characters.
• Max line length - Specifies the maximum length a line can be before it is wrapped to a new line.
This max line length is relative to the current indent level. For example, if you were inside a
block which was at an indent level of 30, and your max line length was set to 80, then that line
would not be wrapped until it reached a total length of 30+80=110 characters. Set this value to 0 if
you want your line breaks preserved.
• Broken tag lines - Specify how broken tag lines are treated from the following options:
o Indent from tag column by - Specifies the amount to indent for broken tag lines from the
starting column of the tag. Specify 0 to align broken tag lines with the starting column of the
tag.
o Use original relative indent - Reindent broken tag lines using the original relative indent
amount from the starting column of the tag.
o Preserve original indent - Preserve the original absolute indent amount on broken tag lines.
