Turning Code Formatting On?

[Guest]

I'm enjoying FrontPage 2003 (huge improvement over previous versions...), but
-- for the life of me -- I can't figure out how to turn on code formatting.

I've found the tab, and I've set my preferences. But when I save, the code
doesn't change. And I can't find a setting anywhere to get the thing to
reformat my code on save.

In code view, right click anywhere, and choose Reformat HTML.

Ah, thanks. Silly that they wouldn't just do it on save.

Also, it doesn't work quite right (I noticed this in FP2002 as well). For
instance, I have SCRIPT tags set to one line break in all four positions
(before and after start, before and after end), but I still get this after FP
reformats:

<script>
[my script]</script>

Same with DIV, P, etc. I'd like block elements to be on their own line with
contents indented, but it doesn't seem to want to play ball.

FrontPage 2003 does not change code (unless there is something seriously
wrong with it) by design - it will not reformat code unless you tell it to.

Putting some block level tags on their own line (such as <p>, </p>) will
affect the way the page is rendered in some browsers.

I found that I had to repeat setting up the formatting (several times) to
make it stick with some tags.
