[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Ident, not Format, in XML files

[raul@xxxxxxxxxxx (Raul Acevedo)]

The flaw in your thinking is that it doesn't work.  :)

The first thing I tried was setting the line width in Preferences -> XML 
-> XML Files -> Editor.  The problem is that the format command doesn't 
just listen to the line length; it insists on putting every new tag on its 
own line.  So for example if I have:

   <property name="foo"><map/></property>

Which I really, really want to keep on one line, it changes that to:

   <property name="foo">
       <map/>
   </property>

Which I really, really do NOT want.  All I want is for it to indent the 
damn line and leave tags where I put them.
