Hello, Should the command Code > Reformat code (Ctrl-Alt-L) oder Code > Auto-Intend Lines (Crtl-Alt-I) work with .html.eex files when using IntelliJ plugin intellij-elixir? If yes, do I have to change or set up anything? Sorry if I should have posted in the IntelliJ Elixir - Elixir plugin for JetB…

FWIW I use Rubymine for editing Elixir/Phoenix code. I had to add *.html.eex under eex to get it to treat those as both HTML and EEX for highlighting and Zen coding HTML. However it will not respect the Elixir blocks that span <%= %> tags for reformatting or indenting. I’ve just been applying the…

The formatter is registered for Elixir https://github.com/KronicDeth/intellij-elixir/blob/88733a74968dd789b6809777626f8bd68a72562e/resources/META-INF/plugin.xml#L154 not EEx, so I think if it works at all, it would format the Elixir inside the EEx tags. I’m not sure how formatting a whole file wo…

@KronicDeth Thanks for your reply. I’m using IntelliJ Idea’s Ultimate Version. Trying ‘auto-intend lines’ and nothing happens on html.eex files. Can I register a formatter for EEx myself?

Love the Elixir plugin so much, except for this. It’s driving me crazy that I can’t format HTML files, I’ve tried fiddling with all the options in IntelliJ and it seems to just completely ignore indenting for .html.eex files no matter what I do. Thanks for the plugin though @KronicDeth edit: just …

I am using PhpStorm and got it working with adding *.html.eex under the Editor > File Types > Twig. As it has a similar template language style, it works like a charm.

If anyone ever finds a better solution than the Twig file type, please please please tell me here. It’s still driving me crazy because now I basically have the option which language it’s properly formatting but not both…

The Elixir plugin was recently updated to provide better formatting (as of v11.8.0). It will now use the underlying language for eex files, meaning *.html.eex files will be formatted as HTML. Unfortunately, this still won’t format both Elixir and HTML at the same time. An example of what I mean: <h…

I’m using it with Rubymine and if you add *.html.eex and set the template language to HTML, it formats both the HTML and Elixir as you can see below. This has been my pet peeve for a while but seems to be resolved with the latest update! [Screen Shot 2020-08-06 at 1.25.58 PM]

On your screenshot you have set the language of *.html.eex to Embedded Elixir, no? Your highlighting seems correct (in contrast to @niknetniko ’s answer). Is that Rubymine specific? Because I want that! :sweat_smile:

That should happen automatically. The highlighting is broken since it’s a code snippet, it works fine in Intellij for me: [image] My file types: [image]
