A small question: Are the tag names in double quotes in your XML files highlighted as strings?
Yes, then that's one of the reasons why the indent string does not work because the " is part of a string and indent strings are ignored in strings. Make following changes:
- In the language definition line insert or modify the string character definition to String Chars = '. With this modification the simple indent string should work (not tested in lack of an example).
- To highlight double quoted strings with the color of strings or a different color add following line above /C1"..":
/Marker Characters = """"
And create a color group for the marker characters like:
/C8"Double quoted strings"
""
Now you can specify the color for double quoted strings too.
But all these changes will not help for the indent string "
">".
Reason: The double quote character is used in the wordfile as indent string delimiter. So UE reads
"" and
>" and ignores that because invalid syntax for indent strings.
I don't know if there is an escape character which can be used to tell UE that the following " character should be part of the indent string and is not a indent string delimiter. Ask IDM support by email.
But I think, there is none. If you always edit the same sort of XML files and there are not too many different
name= and
</name> tag pairs you can specify all that strings as indent and unindent strings.
