Good for new people to DW. Trouble is, it removes white space and I’m a lover of white space.

There’s also a few formatting tools in the sidebar on the left. For eg. There’s a little icon that lets you format the source code without heading to the taskbar at the top.

Keep ‘em comin’.

Awesome little tip. I usually format as I go but sometimes you just loose track in big files of how the tabbing should work. Guess I have a quick answer now.

Great tip Niki. I’m usually pretty good with keeping my own source code formatted but that option can be really useful when you’re working on code written by someone else, who’s maybe not so good. Thanks.

Same as Anthony, I keep my code pretty clean, but sometimes when things get messy this definitely comes in handy.
