auto indentation

ilnli · 03-27-2005, 04:32 AM

is there any script or program available to which we only give html or php file and that will automatically indent the code?

I don't know if you like the type of its indentation, but try the editor Vim! It is an improved version of the old editor vi, and it supports automatic indentation. If you want to indent an existing file, open it:
$ vim filename
Then type (including the colon):
:setf php
-- or --
:setf html
and do the job with 'gg=GZZ' (without colon and without quotes). This will indent the file, save and exit.

Hope I could help!

edit a file .vimrc from your home directory.

Type:
vi .vimrc
Insert these lines in:
:set wrapmargin=2
:set textwidth=70
:set shiftwidth=3
:set tabstop=3
