Blade indentation

StuardoRodriguez

Weird indentation happening in blade files. I purchased a license, hoping that whould fix it, but not. So, I'm here looking for help. This is the code before phptools to apply the auto-format/indentation:

If I select-all-text, cut, and then paste it, the auto format/indentation is applied, but this is how the format looks:

Hello Stuardo,

Thank you very much for letting us know about this. We're going to take a look at it and fix it ASAP. I will let you know.

Just a note. For now, the issue can be workarounded by using blade directives instead of php:

@section('content')
@if (true):

    <p>TRUE</p>

@else
    <p>FALSE</p>
    <ul>
        @foreach ($array as $foo => $bar)
            <li>foreach</li>
        @endforeach
@endif
</ul>
@endsection

Thank you!

I can still replicate the issue

Thanks for following up and confirming, @StuardoRodriguez

You’re right — the issue is still reproducible when using raw PHP control structures inside Blade (<?php if … ?>, <?php foreach … ?>). The recommended approach is to use Blade directives (@if, @foreach, etc.), which both avoid the formatting problem and are the intended Blade syntax.

That said, we do still plan to address the underlying issue so that mixing PHP tags won’t break formatting.

Thanks again for reporting 🙏
