    Hi all!

    If I auto-format my JSP-Code with version 5.1.1 myEclipse would format the code like this:

    <td style=”…”>
    <b>text</b>
    </td>

    If the style-attribute specifies a special color, the IE interprets a return between the td-element and b-element and colors an empty line.
    The formatter of version 5.0.1 would format code something like this, which was IE-compatible

    <td style=”…”><b>text</b>
    </td>

    Now the question: How can I switch to this old formatting without switching my Eclipse versions?

    We don’t expose these formatting settings at the moment I’m sorry to say, so stepping back in versions is likely the only way to work around this… on a side note, IE interpreting new lines almost drove me to my grave a few years back when I didn’t know what was happening and how it handled them.

    When will these formatting settings be put back in? This is a show-stopper for us…
