[oXygen-user] Do format-and-indent for a set of files?

[Eliot Kimber]

Ah, that will work, but setting format and indent on open is pretty
dangerous as a global setting :-)

I'm thinking that what I really want here is a way to do simple Oxygen
action scripting, but I'm not sure how realistic that is--it certainly has
the potential to be a can of worms.

But I'm thinking of tools like InDesign and Illustrator that let you
record actions and then play them back--it's a sophisticated tool but very
handy.

But it may be that I'm trying to solve this particular problem in the
wrong way simply because Oxygen is the tool at hand.

Maybe a better solution would be an option in format and indent to break
attributes at word boundaries and indent the result?

Cheers,

E.
