Version 10.7

New: Code Formatting!

You can now format HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JSON files using the new built-in formatter based on js-beautify.

Tap the (…) menu in the top-right corner and select “Format Code”, or press Cmd-Option-L to reformat the current file.

The formatter is highly configurable: you can adjust line wrapping, indentation, brace style, newline handling, spacing rules, and much more under Settings → Format Code.

Also in this update:
- When uploading to WebDAV, Textastic now sets the “Expect: 100-continue” HTTP header to make sure a server accepts an upload before data is sent. This can prevent duplicate sending of data when the server requires re-authentication.
- Fixed an issue when uploading files to cPanel WebDAV servers (cpdavd): that server closes the connection after each response instead of keeping it alive, which could result in a “request stream exhausted” error.
- Moved Password Lock settings to Settings → Other: since iOS/iPadOS 18, you can touch and hold the app icon on the Home Screen and select “Require Face ID” (or Touch ID or Passcode) to lock the app. This is the preferred method since it works at the system level and also protects Textastic's local files in the Files app.
- Other minor improvements.
