In Visual Studio, (and a few other Microsoft editors), you can auto format a document with a simple Ctrl + K, Ctrl + D.
This inserts line breaks and tabbing automatically.
Is there a similar feature in Notepad++?

Download the "NppAutoIndent" plugin. In Notepad++:
Plugins → Plugin manager → Available → NppAutoIndent
The "NppAutoIndent" plugin has 'smart' indentation for C-style languages, such as C/C++, PHP, and Java. It's the first release, so don't expect it to be flawless, and of course it might not be completely to your preferences. There is NO support for HTML/XML and such, maybe later, tag matching is much more difficult to implement. To use it, select your code and:
TextFX → TextFX Edit → Reindent C++ code
If you cannot see TextFX
in your menu, you can install its plugin
from SourceForge.

For markup / xml there's a plugin called 'XML Tools'.
This can be added via the plugin manager inside Notepad++.

Here are most of plugins to format your code.
JStool (JSmin):
UniversalIndentGUI ( Enabletext auto update' in plugin manager-> UniversalIndentGUI
Shortkey =CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+J
)
TextFX : ( Shortkey =
CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+B
orTextFX > TextFX Html Tidy > Tidy: reindent XML
) TextFX has the benefit of wrapping long lines, which XML Tools does not do, but doesn't indent those new lines correctly.
XML Tools : (customized plugin for XML; Shortkey =
CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+B
orXML Tools > Pretty print [Text indent]
)
XML Tools complements TextFX by indenting the newly wrapped lines nicely.
Why do I not see TextFX in the menu bar as you do? – Pacerier – 2015-07-03T08:05:47.467
