Using the designer to edit a WebForm with a master page will reformat the HTML code in the Source view. The reformatted code does not appear to follow any settings.

Visual Studio 2005

Windows XP Professional

US English

1) Create a new empty ASP.NET website
2) Add a master page (MasterPage.master)
3) Add a WebForm (Default.aspx) and check the box to select a master - choose MasterPage.master
4) Open the HTML source view of Default.aspx and add the following within the asp:Content tags:

<ul>
<li><a href="Default.asp">Red</a></li>
<li><a href="Default.asp">Green</a></li>
<li><a href="Default.asp">Blue</a></li>
<li><a href="Default.asp">Alpha</a></li>
</ul>

5) Switch to designer - confirm the list looks correct, switch back to HTML source, confirm source looks correct.
6) Switch to designer - edit the list (for example, add an 's' to Blue to make it Blues). switch back to HTML source view

The HTML has be reformatted so all list items are on a single line:

<ul>
<li><a href="Default.aspx">Red</a></li><li><a href="Default.aspx">Green</a></li><li><a href="Default.aspx">Blue</a>s</li><li><a href="Default.aspx">Alpha</a></li></ul>

The HTML source should not have been reformatted or changed (except for the additions added in the designer).
