Slick V3.3 manual Tag Content Width Settings

Formatting Settings

•Preserve content - When selected, content between start and end tags is not wrapped, but the tags are laid out properly with the parent tag. This could be useful for tags such as <pre>, where the content needs to be rendered exactly as it appears in the code.

Note

•When Treat as content is selected, the wrapping options in the Tag content width group box, as well as options on the Tag Layout tab, are unavailable.

•When Preserve content is selected, the wrapping options in the Tag content width group box are unavailable.

Tag Content Width Settings

When Wrap tag content is selected, content between tags is wrapped according to the settings specified in this group box. The options Fixed width, Automatic width, and Fixed right margin are mutually ex- clusive.

•Fixed width - When selected, tag content is formatted to the specified width. The original left margin of the content is maintained, and the right margin is adjusted to meet the target width.

If Maximum right column is used, lines will be wrapped when they reach the specified column, even if they have not reached the specified fixed width. This is useful if coding standards mandate that text should not exceed a specified column.

•Automatic width - When selected, the width of the longest multi-line paragraph in the tag’s content is used as the width. This is useful for preserving the formatting of existing content.

If Maximum right column is used, lines will be wrapped when they reach the specified column, even if they have not reached the specified automatic width. This is useful if coding standards mandate that text should not exceed a specified column.

•Fixed right margin - When selected, lines will break before the specified number of columns in the Right column field has been reached.

Tip

If coding standards mandate that text should not exceed a specified column, you can still use Fixed or Automatic width settings. Select and set the Maximum right column, and lines will be wrapped when they reach the specified column, even if they have not reached the specified fixed or automatic width.

•Parent tag right margin - When selected, tag content is wrapped at the right margin to the width of the parent tag.

•Include tags in width calculation - When selected, the start and end tag characters are counted in addition to the content. The number of characters and spaces (including attributes) within tags are cal-
