Ctrl Shift F formats the selected line s  or the whole source code if you haven t selected any line s  as per the format specified in your Eclipse  while Ctrl I gives proper indent to the selected line s  or the current line if you haven t selected any line s   try this  or more precisely The Ant editor that ships with Eclipse can be used to reformat  XML XHTML HTML code  with a few configuration options in Window  gt  Preferences  gt  Ant  gt  Editor   You can right-click a file then Open With     gt  Other     gt  Internal Editors  gt  Ant Editor Or add a file association between  html  or  xhtml  and that editor with Window  gt  Preferences  gt  General  gt  Editors  gt  File Associations Once open in the editor  hit ESC then CTRL-F to reformat

Reformat affects the whole source code and may rebreak your lines  while Correct Indentation only affects the whitespace at the beginning of the lines
