formating and indenting "long" elements
Sometimes, when using the format + indent element on a <para>, oXygen will indent the XML as follows: blah blah blah <olink targetdoc="self" targetptr="Engineering_Optimization_Main_Code" /> blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I'd prefer: blah blah blah <olink targetdoc="self" targetptr="Engineering_Optimization_Main_Code"/> blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Is it possible to instruct oXygen to do what I prefer? -- http://chris.chiasson.name/
Hello Chris, There is no option to force that in empty elements the slash remains on the same line as the last attribute. There is the format option "Add space before slash in empty elements" available in Preferences -> Editor -> Format -> XML that when is disabled forces that no space is added between the last attribute and the slash. However if the maximum line width set in Preferences -> Editor -> Format is exactly at the slash character then a line break is inserted before the slash. You can keep the slash on the same line by changing the line width option. Regards, Sorin Chris Chiasson wrote:

Hi Chris, As it appears you have mixed content and one element inside that, the element is formated inline by oXygen and it is split on a couple of lines due to the line width constraint on formatting. If you want to keep the element on a single line then add it to the preserve space elements list or add inside olink an xml:space="preserve" attribute. Note that the tag will be still formated inline but it will not appear on multiple lines. If you need to have olink formatted as in your example the only solution is to preserve the space on the parent and format it yourself as you desire, oXygen formatting will not touch that.
