I have indented my files in my sublime text but when I push to github they don't look indented. How do I fix this?
The approach taken to indent file on sublime is:
select the code > Edit > Line > Reindent
looks like this on github:
Your issue looks to be caused by your use of literal tab characters for indenting as opposed to using spaces instead.
If there's a hotter holy war topic among developers than the debate of tabs versus spaces, it's probably related to how wide you should interpret a tab character to be for display purposes if you happen to use them.
In particular your images would appear to indicate that you think that tabs should be 2 characters wide and GitHub thinks they should be 8. As mentioned in this answer you can append an extra query field to the URL in GitHub in order to view the files the way you prefer them to be viewed.
As far as I'm aware that just changes how they're rendered on the page when you view and doesn't actually modify the file at all. If it's important that the file retain the same indent levels regardless of where or how you view the file, you should convert from tab indentation to space indentation instead since a space is unambiguously sized.
If you're using Sublime Text you can do that by clicking in the status bar where it says Tab Size: 2 and select Convert indentation to spaces; the status bar will switch to say Spaces: 2 to indicate that the indent has changed.
We use TinyMCE as the wysiwyg editor for our content builder. You can drag and drop a text module and once you click an edit button an TinyMCE instance will open. This works really well.
Problem is now that the builder is made for designers so a lot of the times you add a text module just for a 1 word heading or other cases where you only have one block. (one h1, one p etc.) You can also see this behavior in the official demos: Just add an lonely h2 heading, select all text and start to write.
Now Tiny MCE has the default behavior that if you select the complete text (which is almost always the case if you for example change an 1 line / word heading) and you start typing you will lose your formats completely. ( in our case: color, font-size, font-weight, line-height etc.)
This makes editing an heading for example really painful. Best workaround so far is to leave 1 character to not lose the format and then delete the character in the end.
I never saw that behavior in other editors so my question is: Is there maybe an easy setting or workaround to avoid this?
If there are situations where you want a root element to be something specific (e.g. <h2>) you can use the forced_root_block setting on that instance of TinyMCE to force a specific element:
https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/content-filtering/#forced_root_block
Even if you delete all text the new text will be wrapped with that root element. See this TinyMCE Fiddle for examples:

I think this would address your one line issue?
Is there a quick and easy way to word wrap like "Apply Word Wrap" function of KDE's Kate?
Enter to wrapping mode = M-x auto-fill-mode
Wrap text = select text -> M-q
While the mishadoff's answer is great for default word wrapping, I once had to re-implement it because I wasn't content with the way Emacs did it, so I tried to scratch the bits of it together and here it is: http://pastebin.com/75q65hRf in case you need it.
With that bit of code you can configure what characters to wrap on, what characters terminate words, and also set exception rules for when the characters that would've otherwise break the line won't do it. It may also pad the created column on the right and on the left (I was using this function to format and display documentation text).
We are using Plone 4.1.3 and the default TinyMCE editor. When we press the Enter key in TinyMCE, it produces a double line spacing instead of single line. We found a few similar questions and answers on this issue in the forum but don't know and cannot find the TinyMCE configuration file to modify to make line break into single line spacing. There is also nothing in Site Setup or ZMI to configure this for TinyMCE.
We found this the forum but it is not pertaining to plone.
Decrease the line spacing in TinyMCE textarea
Thank you very much in anticipation

CSS. These are just paragraph elements (<p> tags). -- style them!

As sdupton pointed out, this is indeed on purpose; enter is supposed to be a paragraph break, and behaves the same way in applications like Word. You can insert line breaks by shift-enter, but it's not encouraged to do that on the web, since text flows differently depending on font size and window size (and OS!).
If you want paragraphs to have less spacing, use CSS to reduce the margin/padding.
In Eclipse, I can format comments by selecting them and pressing Shift + Ctrl + F. For example, when I select a method comment like this:
/**
* This method
* does some stuff.
*/
and press Shift + Ctrl + F, Eclipse automatically wraps it:
/**
* This method does some stuff.
*/
Is there anything comparable to this in IDEA?
EDIT: To clarify, I'm looking for comment formatting that also breaks lines that are too long into multiple lines.
The closest thing that you can get is Edit | Join Lines (Ctrl+Shift+J). You have to select the lines you want to join first.
To wrap long comments enable Settings | Code Style | JavaDoc | Wrap at right margin.
For Javadoc comments, you want to make sure the "Wrap at right margin" setting is checked. See Code Style > JavaDoc, under "Other". However, this setting only seems to take effect when you reformat the whole file, since a reformat of just the Javadoc (i.e., select the Javadoc, then do a Code (menu) > Reformat Code... or CtrlAltL) that exceeds the right margin doesn't force it to wrap. If I reformat the entire file, then it wraps at the margin as expected.
This seems like a bug (though one that doesn't seem to have been reported), since if you have to set the "Ensure right margin is not exceeded" checked, then selecting the Javadoc text and doing a reformat code does indeed wrap the lines. This setting is in Settings > Code Style > Wrapping and Braces. You can also do a search in the Settings dialog for "ensure right margin".
You'll still have to manually join the lines using CtrlShiftJ
This might be worthy of an improvement request to JetBrains.
Existing comment will be reformatted when you do "Reformat Code" (⌥⌘L in Mac).
#kghastie uncovered the key.
Steps:
Set the Code Style > Java > JavaDoc > Wrap at right margin setting.
Select the full lines of the entire JavaDoc comment.
Reformat Code (Ctrl-Alt-L or ⌥⌘L).
Lesser alternative:
Set the Code Style > Java > JavaDoc > Wrap at right margin setting and the Code Style > Java > Wrapping and Braces > Ensure right margin is not exceeded setting.
Select some text within a JavaDoc comment.
Join Lines (Ctrl-Shift-J) followed by reformat Code (Ctrl-Alt-L or ⌥⌘L).
Beware: This will leave all the selected lines joined even where you had paragraph breaks (<p/> or \n\n).
The JetBrains plugin Wrap to Column is made for this:
From the overview:
Wraps text to the specified column width. Similar to the Emacs command 'Fill Paragraph' and Vim's gq (format lines) command. This is a replacement for the native Intellij Fill Paragraph command, which doesn't work quite how I need it to.
This plugin provies two IDE actions:
Wrap Line to Column: Wraps selected text or the current line if no text is selected. This is useful for IdeaVim users who wish to pair the command with motions like vip (select current paragraph).
Wrap Paragraph to Column: Wraps the paragraph (multiple lines) in which the cursor appears. No selection is needed, and will be ignored.
I'm using IntelliJ 14 on a Mac, which has a Fill Paragraph command. Access it via the awesome universal Command-Shift-A action search feature. Works like a charm!
This is a hack, not a really good solution, but if you have a block of code that you want formatted like this and it's in serious need of auto format, because it's going over the 80 line max, or it's just unreadable...
You can just put if ("foo" == "bar") { on top of whatever you want formatted, and then and the} at the bottom of the if statement, to close it, and voila, your code should auto-indent, auto format, etc... Then take it out, highlight all of what you just formatted and press SHIFT+TAB to move it back 4 spaces and remove the dummy if statement
