Prevent indent when formatting CSS

Question

In Visual Studio 2013 when I format my CSS code (Ctrl+K+F) it will sometimes indent my CSS properties into a hierarchy.

For example:

.a { color:red; } .a .b {color:blue; } 

Becomes:

.a {   color:red; }     .a .b {      color:blue;    } 

When I would prefer:

.a {   color:red; }  .a .b {   color:blue; } 

Is there a way of modifying Visual Studio to prevent this indentation?

Answer 1

Yes, you can set a preference for this from the Tools, Options menu.

Drill down in Text Editor to CSS, and under Advanced, turn Hierarchical Indentation off:
