Custom Code Formatting
Hi All
Just getting started with .net and the book.
On both computers where I have Visual Web Developer Express 2010 installed the formatting does this to a h1
<h1>
</h1>
when I want it to do this.
<h1></h1>
which is contrary to what it appears to do in the book examples.
On page 25 it explains that I can change code formatting in Tools|Options (show all) Text Editor | HTML | Formatting | Tag Specific Options
However, I can find no where to change the formatting for H1.
I'd be surprised if this is the correct default but I did a default installation on both of my computers.
How can I get it to work the desired way as I showed above?

Hi there,
Using that same dialog you mentioned, you can add tags to the list if they don't exist. Simply create a new entry, enter h1 as the tag name and configure it as you want. Then, optionally, repeat this for h2 through h6.
Cheers,
Imar

Thanks Imar.
Is is supposed to do this...
<h1>
</h1>
instead of this...
<h1> </h1>
by default? If so, do you know why?

Yes, I think it has as its default to put opening and closing tags on separate lines.
Take a look at the formatting dialog for the h1 you created and you see options to configure line breaks and indenting. Just chose the option you like best.
I prefer <h1>Content</h1>
Cheers,
Imar

I haven't made it very far in your book yet. Is there a way to export/import those customizations so I don't have to do it on both computers?

Yes; chapter 1 shows how to Import / Export / Restore your settings.

Well, that's embarrassing. Guess I flunked the pop quiz. I will go back and reread. I thought I remembered something like that but couldn't find it when I looked.
I did get the custom h1 tag to work as desired. Thanks.
Your book is clear and easy to understand, thus far, and I like all the neat little things about the IDE that you point out.
