Change the format of generated CSS

[Christopher Finazzo]

Is it possible to change the format of CSS which is generated through the 
Markup -> Edit Markup menu item?

For example, when writing styles, I prefer to use an indentation variant 
similar to Stroustrup's C++ 
. 
Accordingly, classes and ID's would be written as follows:

.main {
  line-height: 1.6;
  font-size: 16px;
  color: #444;
}

Can the Markup command be instructed to output in this style? If not, I 
presume this would be possible through the Completion preference pane in 
BBEdit 12. The existing Editing preferences do not seem to allow for this 
kind of flexibility.

I use another program which is complementary to BBEdit called CSSEdit. It 
can be configured to style the layout as you wish but only in external 
style sheets. BBEdit and CSSEdit work well together giving the best of both 
worlds.

Hi,

You can set indentation per language in the preferences under "Languages -> 
Language-specific settings", maybe that works.

Otherwise have a look at http://editorconfig.org/ which BBEdit supports. This 
allows you to set indentation styles on a per-language basis and/or per project 
and should do what you're looking for. 

Best,
Holger

Thanks for the hint. Didn't know about EditorConfig, looks interesting.
