Description _ gtzabari 2006-02-28 04:40:43 UTC 
CSS files use the "Simple Indentation Engine" by default yet there is no way to
"reformat code" on them. I'd like to be able to use "reformat code" on them
which will indent tabs to 2 spaces, recognize CSS rule blocks in order to
increase or decrease indent levels, etc.

A very useful function for web development.

Dusan,

Please revisit this issue. Netbeans 8.0.1 certainly has some sort of CSS formatting engine. I think the only outstanding issue is we can't configure the formatting rules (or can we?)
Comment 3 _ gtzabari 2014-10-08 17:27:51 UTC 
I stand corrected. There still isn't a way for us to specify that spaces should be converted to tabs, so this issue is still relevant.
Comment 4 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 07:31:56 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss

This is still relevant in dev build 201607070002.
