Enhanced XML Formatting for Sublime Text 2

tidy_xml.py

import sublime, sublime_plugin, subprocess

class TidyXmlCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
  def run(self, edit):
    if self.view.sel()[0].size() > 0:
      self.cursor = None
      for region in self.view.sel():
        self.format(edit, region)
    else:
      self.cursor = self.view.sel()[0]
      region = sublime.Region(0, self.view.size())
      self.format(edit, region)
    
  def clear(self):
    self.view.erase_status('tidyxml')

  def format(self, edit, region):
    command = 'tidy -xml -i -utf8 -w -q'
    p = subprocess.Popen(command, bufsize=-1, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
    result, err = p.communicate(self.view.substr(region).encode('utf-8'))
    
    if err != "":
      self.view.set_status('tidyxml', "tidyxml: "+err)
      sublime.set_timeout(self.clear,10000)
    else:
      self.view.replace(edit, self.view.line(region), result.decode('utf-8').replace('\r\n', '\n'))
      sublime.set_timeout(self.clear,0)
      sublime.set_timeout(self.move_cursor,1) # minor delay necessary, not sure why

  def move_cursor(self):
    if self.cursor != None:
      self.view.sel().clear()
      self.view.sel().add(self.cursor)
      self.view.show(self.cursor)

Updated XML formatting plugin from https://gist.github.com/1138554.

If no selection is made it will select all and format the entire file. If formatted in this way, the cursor will be returned to it's last location after the formatting. I couldn't figure out how to make that smoother or more seamless. Still it beats scrolling through large XML's all the time.

Updated the script to handle formatting multiple selections as well.

Thank you to the original author to get me to this point.

just wanted to say a big thank you for this.. it works a treat for me on windows.. thank you very much
