Auto format document with Notepad++

Question

In Visual Studio, (and a few other Microsoft editors), you can auto format a document with a simple Ctrl + K, Ctrl + D.

This inserts line breaks and tabbing automatically.

Is there a similar feature in Notepad++? I love Notepad++ but without auto format it feels a bit incomplete!

Answer 1

TextFX has the options to insert line breaks and tabbing?

Answer 2

Download and use the plugin NppAutoIndent in Notepad++.In your Notepad++:

Plugins -> Plugin manager -> Available -> NppAutoIndent

NppAutoIndent plugin has 'smart' indentation for C-style languages, such as C/C++, PHP, Java and such.
It's the first release so don't expect it to be flawless, and of course it might not be completely to your preferences ;) There is NO support for HTML/XML and such, maybe later, tag matching is much more difficult to implement.
To use it select your code and:

TextFX -> TextFX Edit -> Reindent C++ code

Look at:
sourceforge
stackoverflow

Update:
If you can not see TextFX in your menu,you can install it's plug in(from here) and probably you can see TextFX Edit -> Reindent C++ code in it,after installing.You can see more details in these pages:

For JavaScript, the JSMinNpp plugin will do this job.

Answer 4

For markup / xml there's a plugin called 'XML Tools'.
