DW doubles my lines of code

did this happen to you?

[mifi601]

Some of the files I open, have their lines miraculously doubled. When I first write them it is a line of code per line on the page (unless I use a linebreak of course).

I upload the file.

I download the file.

Voila, every line of code occupies 2 lines ... very ennoying and I have no idea how to get rid of it!

This is DW doing its 'source formatting' - bit of a bugger if you like your code to look clean and tidy.

Basically once you have sorted the code the way that you want it, edit in DW and it re-formats the char lengths of the lines of code.

Problem is inherent in all DW's. I personally have never hunted a solution down, but i would think that you can alter the lengths of character per line.

Its a funny little thing of DW - though irritating if you use DW as your core wysiwyg&tce.

Which DW are you using ..I've got MX and I've never seen this ....

My servers alter the files sizes slightly and Cute pro may also have a hand in it as they always get a little bigger when I bring them back ...but thats before I open them in Dw ....

I've never used DW itself to upload whatever they say to me it's a wysiwywg not an ftp...

But I never saw DW do it

You can exercise a good bit of control over how DW will format your code. Go into Preferences -> Code Format and you'll get a few choices, and go to the Tag Library Editor (Edit -> Tag Libraries) and you get a bunch more choices.

I use MX. and I do use it to up and download - it's just so convenient to test live (as opposed to locally with different PHP versions, apache versions .....) so I usually just do ctrl-shift-u and look at it.

it is not just a line length thing. it inserts a line between every line.

I will have a look at the code options again.

bummer though ...

Look in the preferences somewhere for Linux or Windows - I think it's in code, line breaks. Pick the one that your server is.

[mifi601]

I looked and I looked. definitely found no 'server' options.

it is not a 'wrap' issue.

DW inserts lines.

I have DW 4.
It's in Code format / Line breaks
