Preserving Code Formats with CodeSweepers
The CodeSweeper feature automates the task of getting your code properly formatted.
It can be very useful in a number of situations:
Selecting a CodeSweeper

development. You can also create your own CodeSweepers or edit the existing ones.
Allaire CodeSweepers
Installed CodeSweepers include:

installed as an alternate to the Allaire CodeSweepers. HTML Tidy provides code
formatting options plus settings for tag conversions, language support, and other
features not available in the Allaire CodeSweepers.
Select Options > Settings > CodeSweeper and expand HTML Tidy CodeSweepers to
view and set options.
You can easily update the HTML Tidy engine if new features are added to between
ColdFusion Studio releases.
