(previously posted on https://stackoverflow.com/q/62000643/3206025 before I get that there is a Vi's SE)

Here my vimrc

filetype plugin indent on
set autoindent 
set tabstop=2 
set shiftwidth=2 
set softtabstop=2

And that all.

Let suppose I start a new xml file.

WHen a use normal tag, autoindent work well

<div>
  <p> 
     Some text
  </p>
</div>

But if I insert autoclosing tags, autoindnet don't recognize the autoclosing feature,and I get something like this.

<div>
  <p> 
     Some text<lb />
        Some text<lb />
             Some text<lb />
  </p>
</div>

I use vim 8.1.2269. I tried with nvim 0.4.3 > same problem. WHat is strange is that in the past (before my new fresh installation of Ubuntu), I didn't get any problem...

  • You can try using gq since the xml filetype sets formatexpr, but I didn't see anywhere (after a quick peek) that the scripts handle self-closing tags. – D. Ben Knoble♦ May 26 at 23:21
  • I believe @ChristianBrabandt is the maintainer of XML indentation in Vim, so maybe he might know why it seems to handle this case incorrectly? – filbranden♦ May 27 at 1:00
