Paul King commented on GROOVY-8040: ----------------------------------- A directly runnable version of above example: {code} import groovy.text.markup.* def config = new TemplateConfiguration(autoIndent: true, autoNewLine: true) def engine = new MarkupTemplateEngine(config) def template = engine.createTemplate(''' html { head { title('The title') meta(name: 'title', content: 'The title') meta(name: 'description', content: 'The description') } } ''') def sw = new StringWriter() template.make([:]).writeTo(sw) println sw {code} > Markup Templates: improve pretty printing > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-8040 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8040 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Templating > Affects Versions: 2.4.7 > Reporter: Sinuhé > Priority: Minor > > When I execute a template such as: > {code} > html { > head { > title('The title') > meta(name: 'title', content: 'The title') > meta(name: 'description', content: 'The description') > } > } > {code} > Having *autoIndent* and *autoNewLine* set to *true* I expect a result similar > to this: > {code} > <html> > <head> > <title>The title</title> > <meta name='title' content='The title'/> > <meta name='description' content='The description'/> > </head> > </html> > {code} > But I get all elements in the same level as one string: > {code} > <html> > <head> > <title>The title</title><meta name='title' content='The title'/><meta > name='description' content='The description'/> > </head> > </html> > {code} > When there are a lot of elements in the same level leads to an unreadable > formatting, what obviously isn't the purpose of pretty printing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
