Preserve space inside tags #308

Closed afauroux closed 3 years ago

afauroux commented 4 years ago

Description I have a xml document with many attributes inside tags, and I work collaboratively through git. My colleague formats all attributes so they align with each others. So it looks like this:

<object type="output parameters">
        <!-- output directory -->
                <param name="output directory" type="string" default="output"></param>
        <!-- output files -->
                <param name="crystal file"     required="false" type="string" default="Slime_-_crystals"></param>
                <param name="macrocell file"   required="false" type="string" default="Slime_-_macrocells"></param>
                <param name="macrolayer file"  required="false" type="string" default="Slime_-_macrolayers"></param>
                <param name="area file"        required="false" type="string" default="Nerd_-_Area"></param>
                <param name="final stack file" required="false" type="string" default="Mads_-_Final_Stack"></param>
                <param name="all stacks file"  required="false" type="string" default="Mads_-_All_Stacks"></param>
</object>

But whenever I lint the document with your plugin I end up with the following:

<object type="output parameters">
                <!-- output directory -->
                <param name="output directory" type="string" default="output"></param>
                <!-- output files -->
                <param name="crystal file" required="false" type="string" default="Slime_-_crystals"></param>
                <param name="macrocell file" required="false" type="string" default="Slime_-_macrocells"></param>
                <param name="macrolayer file" required="false" type="string" default="Slime_-_macrolayers"></param>
                <param name="area file" required="false" type="string" default="Nerd_-_Area"></param>
                <param name="final stack file" required="false" type="string" default="Mads_-_Final_Stack"></param>
                <param name="all stacks file" required="false" type="string" default="Mads_-_All_Stacks"></param>
</object>

Could it be possible that you add an option in the settings to prevent the linter from reorganising the spaces inside tags.

Current Workarounds None

When v2.6.0 is released, this will be available under the new xmlTools.preserveSpacesBetweenAttributes setting.
