Document.Language.FormatSelection works incorrectly - SyntaxEditor Web Languages Add-on for Windows Forms Forum

Environment: Windows XP (32-bit)

I tried to use your xml text formatter and it seems that FormatDocument method work perfectly BUT FormatSelection make very strange things.

For example I have following xml (please note that there is 4 leading spaces before the <node1> and other tags, it is important):


    <node1>
        <node2></node2>
    </node1>
    <node3>
    </node3>

When I select text like the following:


    {start selection}<node1>
        <node2></node2>
    </node1>{end selection}
    <node3>
    </node3>

and try to use syntaxEditor.Document.Language.FormatSelection(syntaxEditor) all work ok.

But when i try to select several lines using "shift+down" like this:


{start selection}    <node1>
        <node2></node2>
    </node1>
{end selection}    <node3>
    </node3>

In this case SyntaxEditor inserts 1 or 2 or more unnecessary lines above the selection and unnecessary "\t" before the <node3> tag.

Hi, yes this is a known issue. Right now the FormatDocument method is all that has been implemented correctly. We have on the TODO list to make FormatSelection work in the future as well.
