Daniel at dimebrain did a really fantastic work writing a plug-in for VS
that can format the markup in asp.net. When you build a web page using the VS
designer, it auto generates the markup. But the auto generated code so clustered
and impossibly hard to read. You have to manually format the markup (HTML) code
by hand. This is always very tiresome and boring job. Also this is wastage of
time.
Daniel also felt the same. After being inspired by the Joe Stagner, he developed this
plug-in. It provides an additional Edit menu item and hotkey (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+Z) to
automatically line up attributes in a selection of text, or format the entire
document if no text is selected. The meat of the add-in is a handful of regular
expressions that parse tags (XAML, HTML, and ASP.NET directives) and a few IDE
tools to line them up according to their indent level.
