Is it possible to use Visual Studio HTML formatting to format an embedded code block?

Question

I love Visual Studio's ability to auto format (CTRL + K,D). However, in HTML if you have something like:

<h1><%# Eval("SomeField") %></h1>

It gets formatted this way:

<h1>
    <%# Eval("SomeField") %></h1>

I'm fairly certain that the line break after the <h1> tag is caused by Visual Studio's formatting rules for embedded code blocks. However I don't know where to edit those settings. All of the other rules are under Tools > Options > Text Editor.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks!

Answer 1

You were close...

Go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > Html > Format

In the tag wrapping section, click on "Tag Specific Options"

In the tree, under the "Client HTML Tags" node you'll see the embed element.

Set its line breaks to "Before Opening,within, and after closing."

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm curious too!

Answer 3

Tools > Options > Text Editor > Html > Formatting

Tag wrapping section -> Tag Specific Options...

Default Settings (there are 4) - Change all the "Line breaks:" to "Before and after"
