single-line / multi-line-view

volki9 · Post by **volki9** » Thu Aug 26, 2021 6:23 am

Good day
As a newbie I need help
I am using Textpad 881 with Win-10-Pro 64 21H1.
TP-8 in the German-language-version
----------------
When I import/open a file in TP-8, I see it either in a single line view or in a multi line view (see picture attached). I have no control over how the file opens, it can be single- or multi-line view.

Question:-
How can I change a multi-line view to a single-line view?
------------------------
Multi-line-View (Example)
: <wpt lat="42.692290" lon="12.541860">
<ele>0.00</ele>
<time>2018-09-03T15:57:36Z</time>

Single line view: everything in one line

Do you really mean everything on one line, or just the long lines like the StreetAddress in your example?

If you're referring to just long lines, you might be seeing the difference between word wrapping being on and off, which you can set via Configure > Word Wrap.

Or, for all documents in a document class,
Configure | Preferences | Document Classes | class | Word wrap long lines.

Perhaps some of your documents are in a class with word wrap on and others are in a class with word wrap off.

Thank you

By single line view I mean everything (in my example) between
: <wpt lat="42.692290" lon="12.541860">
and
</wpt>
------------------
I had to change TP from german to english first

When I choose Configure > Word Wrap. This doesn't change the preview to single line.
When I use Configure | Preferences | Document Classes | class | Word wrap long lines

I get to Document Classes, but then class is not present.
.----------------------------

I have now found out that if I save the file with another programme (GPS Utility) that TP-8 opens it in sigle-line mode.!

Do you mean that in some cases each wpt element (from a <wpt> opening tag to its matching </wpt> closing tag) is on a single line, and in other cases each child element starts on a new line? If so, that can only be that the contents of those files are laid out differently.

In
Configure | Preferences | Document Classes
there is a list of document classes. By "class" I meant any class that your documents belong to.

Thanks
but I have now found a way around.

I first have to save this file in a certain programme, then it opens in TP-8, either Single Line or Multi Line. I can live with that.

mv

It would seem that this other certain program is sometimes saving these files with wpt elements on single lines and sometimes with wpt elements on multiple lines.

TextPad is not doing his. It is not aware of XML structure and would therefore not be able to split or join lines in an XML-sensitive way, even if it wanted to.
