RDT doesn't format very well

[bo]

code like this:

while i < items.size do
9.times do |x|

ret<< CGI::unescapeHTML(item)

if item == 'something'
break
end
end
end

if I move away the space character preceding CGI:: and format, the
result would be:

while i < items.size do
9.times do |x|

ret<<CGI::unescapeHTML(item)

if item == 'something'
break
end
end
end

could anyone tell me how to make RDT format better?

end
end
end

If you remove the space preceding "CGI", the formatter is probably
interpreting "<<CGI" as the start of a "here document". Therefore the
following lines are being treated as literal text, not code. So you
should probably leave the spaces in.

thanks for replying. I've found this the main problem for formating and
syntax highlight. vim has the same bug. it seems common for editors.
not a big deal though
