SlickEdit® / Re: How to get indentation and left justification working together?

Clark, yes, that is what I was looking for.

I wanted soft-wrap to wrap to the previous line's indent level.

Thank you for your clarification. Is there any way you can add this request to the feature request queue? Almost all other major editors have this functionality.

I think I've gotten confused. I thought you were talking about a different issue.

There isn't an option for softwrap to wrap to the previous lines indent level. Is that what you are looking for?

Reply # 8 on this forum thread has all the attachments. I uploaded three attachments there.

I am uploading a screenshot here showing the three attachments. If you do not see them, let me know, and I will upload them again.

I don't see any attachment to your post?

Clark, to remove any questions about my personal configuration, I chose the HTML code from the very page we are on -- and demonstrated the problem. I also gave you steps to replicate the problem. (Save the source code of the page we are reading -- and then open it in two different editors.) I am dealing with pure HTML since that is the code the SlickEdit's forum site is sending to my browser.

To clarify, I am not using Django.

If, for some reason, you believe that SlickEdit is not going to work in the manner that I am requesting on this thread, you can just say so. I am raising an issue after waiting for 14 years.

Are you using DJango in your HTML?

If so, do the following:
* Open an HTML file
* type "toggle_django_color_coding" on the SlickEdit command line.

That will enable DJango color coding for HTML files.

Clark, thank you for taking the time to reply.

The sample code I want to use is the very same forum post we are on. I copied the source code of this forum post and have attached it as "SlickEdit Forum Post.html." The two other attachments illustrate the behavior of SlickEdit and Visual Studio Code, respectively. I have selected only a small part of the code to illustrate the point. As you can see from the screenshots, VSCode makes it visually easier to understand the structure of the code as the code is (artificially) indented as it is wrapped. You can download a copy of VSCode to verify what I am talking about.

I would rather use SlickEdit than VSCode because SlickEdit makes my life easier in so many different ways. But, for HTML files, I have to switch to VSCode for this soft-wrap indenting issue. I want to clarify that SlickEdit does not have a problem with what the embedded language is, as I can confirm by going to the Document --> Select Mode menu.

It looks like SlickEdit isn't figuring out what embedded language to use. Please post a sample file as an attachment. That way, we know what the file extension is and not just the file contents.

I am adding the screenshots for both SlickEdit and Visual Studio Code to illustrate my point. As you can see from these two screenshots, it's much harder to visualize the code when using SlickEdit. There must be a setting SlickEdit; I probably just don't know where it is. I can't be the only person with this issue.

I want to revive this thread that I started more than 14 years ago.

Is there any progress on the requested functionality? Just to add more color, all modern text editors (including Visual Studio Code) display the requested behavior when wrapping words. I have to switch to Visual Studio Code every time I edit HTML because SlickEdit's way of displaying information makes things visually less clear.
