Is there a way to automatically format the html code in dreamweaver?

I mean, for example, select the code and automatically get the right alignment of the code like it is possible do in action script.

Is it possible?

Is there a keyboard shortcut?

Thanks.

From the Common Toolbar (shown below) select Apply Source Formatting. However, you must Edit Tag Libraries 1st to set up your indenting preferences. Personally, I don't like indented code.

you're right, when code is indented it is too complex to read it, to clearly see the nested tags, having the starting/ending tag in a first view, well it is definitly better to have a one line code ... arf arf...

in fact there are differents current feature requests to polish and greatly improve the code formatting / coloring.

you can still have a drop down menu Edit > Code that open a child menu to format and indent the code, AFAIK there is not shortcur for it ?

Thank you!

Yes, but it does not work either with the mouse or with the keyboard.

I agree that it really need improvment, but at least for HTML, it is more or less indenting the tags correctly... can you post a screen grab ?
