A new topic of code formatting

  • It isn't honoring the line feeds, carriage return betweeen code chunks - adding into the editor or if pasted from SSMS.

    Try one pasted from notepad:

    SELECT 
    sp.state_desc,
    sp.permission_name,
    p.name,
    sp.class_desc
    FROM sys.server_permissions AS sp
    JOIN sys.server_principals AS p
    ON sp.grantee_principal_id = p.principal_id
    WHERE permission_name = 'VIEW SERVER STATE'





    --after some cr lf...
    SELECT
    p.[name],
    sp.permission_name,
    sp.state_desc,
    sp.class_desc
    FROM sys.server_permissions AS sp
    JOIN sys.server_principals AS p
    ON sp.grantee_principal_id = p.principal_id
    WHERE p.[name] = 'YourTestLogin'
  • It's compressing line feeds into one, removing blank lines.

    When you write that it's not honoring them, I think of lines being combined.  It does honor a line feed, but removes empty lines, which is a bug.

  • Thanks, yes that's what it's doing. My bad for using the term "honoring", should have phrased that differently.

  • No  worries, I figured it out. This migration has made me painfully aware of how poorly I sometimes describe things to developers. I'm more empathetic to users struggling to express themselves.
