Question

Does ColdFusion Builder have CF code formatting built in?

CF code formatting seems like a very basic feature for a code editor, but I can't seem to find/enable it in ColdFusion Builder. I would think such a basic and useful feature that was available in Dreamweaver CS3 would be included by Adobe. The HTML and CSS formatters work great, but I wish they would implement it for CF code. Am I not seeing it, or is it missing?

Any plans for upcoming source formatting? Or maybe an add-on?

If you look in the CFB bug tracker, there was a bunch of errors raised during what I can only imagine was the internal testing of a source formatting facility planned for a subsequent release. They showed up round about when the recent updated came out, so I guess they were trying to get it into that, but it didn't end up making the cut.

Here's hoping there's another updated soon...

I found it very disappointing not to have a proper source formater for CFML in a ColdFusion IDE for 300 bucks... thats seems like a joke. Codeformating for CFML works since years in Dreamweaver and even homesite.

Me too. Well: not having this feature is a major reason why I refuse to buy it. I think this feature is one fo the minimum fundamentals that any code editor should ship with. Even a free one, let-alone one that costs £200.

“I wish we could have provided this and we wanted to, but it would not make it into this release. Sorry.”

Is this some kind of joke and is hermant k a member of Adobe staff?

Picture buying one of those new GM cars with the 60 day return guarantee. The first 60 days the weather is beautiful; the 61^st. day it rains and you can’t find where to turn on the windshield wipers. When you call the dealer, they say “Sorry, we didn’t make for this year’s model; you’ll have to wait ‘til the 2011 model comes out”.

What would you do?

But it has JavaScript formatting built in which sucks.

Does anybody knows how to switch it off?
