Subject: bug#73206: 28.2; xml comment with blank lines to do not indent correctly, nxml-mode.el
Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2024 13:53:26 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

1. Create foo.xml containing:

<foo>
    <!--
        foo

bar
    -->
</foo>

Notice that we have a blank line in the xml comment.

2. Put the point on 'bar' and press TAB.

Notice that the 'bar' line is not indented correctly.

Solution
--------

The problem is that in nxml-compute-indent-in-delimited-token, there
is a (forward-line -1) which assumes that the prior line is indented. In
this case the prior line is a blank line and thus doesn't have
indentation. After the (forward-line -1), we need to keep going back
until we see a non-blank line:

 	   (forward-line -1)
+           (while (looking-at "^[:blank:]*$")
+	     (forward-line -1))

Attached is a patch for nxml-mode.el that fixes the issue. 

Thanks
John
