Dreamweaver CC 2017 indent guides and how to

[Netoper]

ok, i have solution finally.

after few hours of research i have solution how to create indent guides in dreamweaver cc 2017 functional. of course indentation works on lines with wrap text now correctly (see images below).

first of all, you must use TAB indentation in your code. my settings are show on picture.

sorry, but space not create specific tag in code editor which is need for styling.

lets go.. open your main.less file and copy this code somewhere.

• if you use modified theme, file location is C:\Users\~name~\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2017\en_US\Configuration\Brackets\extensions\user
• if you use default theme, file can be found C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017\www\extensions\default\~UsedTheme~

// indent guide settings

.CodeMirror pre {

overflow: hidden;

}

.cm-tab {

position: relative;

}

.cm-tab:after {

content: '';

position: absolute;

border-left: 1px solid #cccccc; // your color choice

top: 0px;

left: 3px;

width: 0px;

height: 100vh;

}

save and enjoy!

..or you can download my edited themes where indentation is now implemented.

as one can see on this last screen shot... the TABed line are looking nice, but the indent code is not well formated and that doesn't help anyhow on formating it correctly... so it this is only a fake visual rendering ... and not at all structural ... did I missed a step ?

[Netoper]

yes, is only visual help where TAB is stylized as you can see on my code in first post. code mirror in core does not support indent guides then is not possible to make structural indent lines helper. maybe with help by addon, but i can not find any. and nevertheless, dreamweawer not support addons.. in addition, dreamweaver source code which handle this is minified, then ist not possible change whatever..

[B i r n o u]

too bad... so we must only rely on open close tag, ans tag selection highlight ?

[Netoper]

.. it is so yet

[Netoper]

i researching something.. look at the screenshot! maybe the dream will be reality!

custom code coloring for specific tags (so it's not problem create same theme like DW2015)! and indent guides now it`s not defined in main.less but as a addon!

[B i r n o u]

an they are not only visual, but reallt structural ? what is the addon ?
