Bug ID: 472870
Summary: xml indentation works incorrectly
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: indentation
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: martin.steigerw...@proact.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Since a while XML indenting does not work correctly anymore. One example, when
typing:
<slide toc="yes">
<title
and then closing the "<title>"-Tag with ">" Kate moves it onto the same level
as the "<slide>"-Tag
On the other hand in case I do not indent the "<title>"-tag myself it does not
indent it automatically but keeps it sitting on the same level as the
"<slide>"-Tag.
This happens with tabs as spaces and tabs as tabs. However when playing around
with indentation settings, sometimes I can get it to work correctly. I did not
yet figure out how and it usually does not last long. So it may be necessary to
replicate the exact indentation settings. I shared the mode line I use at the
end of the report.
There other issues with XML indentation which basically renders the feature not
only useless but it hinders working on an XML documentation. Thus I can work
more productively when disabling indenting completely.
My suspicion is that this is related to some recent KDE Frameworks update,
cause Kate was not updated in Debian since Debian Bookworm release and
indentation worked correctly about 1 or 2 months ago AFAIR. KDE Frameworks got
at least one update. I hope to get my hands on a newer Kate version soon
enough, but Debian/Ubuntu Qt/KDE packaging team is also working on Qt 6 as a
prerequisite for introducing Plasma 6 to Debian later in the year. So not sure
when they will package Kate 23.04 or even better 23.08.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try above example with XML indenting on
You could also use the mode line I pasted below for exact indentation settings.
OBSERVED RESULT
As above.
EXPECTED RESULT
Kate keeps the indentation or… in case I do not indent myself indents the
"<title>"-Tag automatically.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Devuan GNU/Linux 6 on Kernel 6.4.0-1-amd64 (that is Devuan
Ceres tracking Debian Sid)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.107.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I use the following mode line:
<!--
kate: indent-mode xml; indent-width 4; line-numbers true;
remove-trailing-spaces all; syntax XML; tab-indents true; tab-width 4;
-->
This makes it more difficult to disable XML indenting temporarily as Kate seems
to enable it again when I save the document.
