reformatting a file for proper indentation?

JohnJSal · Feb 15, 2006#12006-02-15T10:51+00:00

Is there a way to reformat a file you've already typed (but didn't save yet) so that once it is saved with the proper extension, it will have the proper tab settings for that extension?

Example: My default settings are 4 spaces, but for HTML I do 2. If I write an HTML file and *then* save it as file.html, can I somehow reformat the indents to change to 2 spaces instead of the 4?

Thanks.

This little macro will do this for files with the extension html or htm.

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
IfExtIs "html"
Top
Find " "
Replace All "^t"
Find "^t"
Replace All " "
Else
IfExtIs "htm"
Top
Find " "
Replace All "^t"
Find "^t"
Replace All " "
EndIf
EndIf

And don't forget to enable the macro property Continue if a Find with Replace not found. I think, I must not explain this simple macro.
