Oxygen XML Forum

Hello, within the oxygen formatting settings I wish to auto add a newline before an attribute of a specific name on format.

I go to Preferences > Editor > Format > XML > Line break

I then add an option similar to the following

//TagName/@attributeName

And tick the Before option and untick the After option. This XPath correctly identifies those attributes when using the XPath/XQUERY Builder view. Though on format no newline is added.

Is there something I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The "Line Break" list in the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor / Format / XML" page identifies XML elements before which a line break should be added.
You seem to want to add a line break only before a specific XML attribute inside an XML element. We do not have such a setting. We have the "Break line before attribute name" setting but it applies to all XML attributes.

Hello Radu,
I had the same doubt. Thank you for clarification.
