Tags to not format

[neilhart]

When I format my XML docbook doc in the Eclipse plugin there are parts I don't want their format changed like:

<programlisting>

/**
* //class javadoc
* $Author$, $Revision$, $Date$
* <!--
* $Log$
* -->
**/

</programlisting>

Can anything be done for this?

Hi,

Oxygen handles xml:space attribute but the Docbook DTD does not allow xml:space. There is a RFE here that request this addition to Docbook DTD.

What you can do is to put the content in a CDATA section like below:

Code: Select all

            <programlisting><![CDATA[   

               /**

                * //class javadoc 

                * $Author$, $Revision$, $Date$ 

                * <!-- 

                * $Log$ 

                * --> 

                **/ 

            ]]></programlisting>

and it will be left unchanged by the pretty print operation.

On the desktop version there is also a light indenting option that just indent tags on the same line, probably that will be offered soon also in the Eclipse plugin version.
