emacs css-mode indent-buffer fix

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Ive been using emacs for some years now, but I always noticed the css mode seemed to format it a little strange.

I found this article, it fixes all the issues in the css mode.

(setq cssm-indent-level 4)
(setq cssm-newline-before-closing-bracket t)
(setq cssm-indent-function #'cssm-c-style-indenter)
(setq cssm-mirror-mode nil)

Now when I auto indent the buffer it looks correctly. I have no idea why this is not the default for the css-mode.

FYI my auto indent key is F2.

(defun indent-buffer ()
    (interactive)
    (save-excursion (indent-region (point-min) (point-max) nil))
)
(global-set-key [f2] 'indent-buffer)
