26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; delim-col helps to prettify columns in a text region or rectangle.
30 ;; To use it, make sure that this file is in load-path and insert in your
31 ;; .emacs:
33 ;; (require 'delim-col)
35 ;; If you have, for example, the following columns:
37 ;; a b c d
38 ;; aaaa bb ccc ddddd
39 ;; aaa bbb cccc dddd
40 ;; aa bb ccccccc ddd
42 ;; And the following settings:
44 ;; (setq delimit-columns-str-before "[ ")
45 ;; (setq delimit-columns-str-after " ]")
46 ;; (setq delimit-columns-str-separator ", ")
47 ;; (setq delimit-columns-before "")
48 ;; (setq delimit-columns-after "")
49 ;; (setq delimit-columns-separator "\t")
50 ;; (setq delimit-columns-format 'separator)
51 ;; (setq delimit-columns-extra t)
53 ;; If you select the lines above and type:
55 ;; M-x delimit-columns-region RET
57 ;; You obtain the following result:
59 ;; [ a , b , c , d ]
60 ;; [ aaaa, bb , ccc , ddddd ]
61 ;; [ aaa , bbb, cccc , dddd ]
62 ;; [ aa , bb , ccccccc, ddd ]
64 ;; But if you select start from the very first b to the very last c and type:
66 ;; M-x delimit-columns-rectangle RET
68 ;; You obtain the following result:
70 ;; a [ b , c ] d
71 ;; aaaa [ bb , ccc ] ddddd
72 ;; aaa [ bbb, cccc ] dddd
73 ;; aa [ bb , ccccccc ] ddd
75 ;; Now, if we change settings to:
77 ;; (setq delimit-columns-before "<")
78 ;; (setq delimit-columns-after ">")
80 ;; For the `delimit-columns-region' example above, the result is:
82 ;; [ <a> , <b> , <c> , <d> ]
83 ;; [ <aaaa>, <bb> , <ccc> , <ddddd> ]
84 ;; [ <aaa> , <bbb>, <cccc> , <dddd> ]
85 ;; [ <aa> , <bb> , <ccccccc>, <ddd> ]
87 ;; And for the `delimit-columns-rectangle' example above, the result is:
89 ;; a [ <b> , <c> ] d
90 ;; aaaa [ <bb> , <ccc> ] ddddd
91 ;; aaa [ <bbb>, <cccc> ] dddd
92 ;; aa [ <bb> , <ccccccc> ] ddd
94 ;; Note that `delimit-columns-region' operates over all text region
95 ;; selected, extending the region start to the beginning of line and the
96 ;; region end to the end of line. While `delimit-columns-rectangle'
97 ;; operates over the text rectangle selected which rectangle diagonal is
98 ;; given by the region start and end.
100 ;; See `delimit-columns-format' variable documentation for column formatting.
102 ;; `delimit-columns-region' is useful when you have columns of text that
103 ;; are not well aligned, like:
105 ;; horse apple bus
106 ;; dog pineapple car
107 ;; porcupine strawberry airplane
109 ;; `delimit-columns-region' and `delimit-columns-rectangle' handle lines
110 ;; with different number of columns, like:
112 ;; horse apple bus
113 ;; dog pineapple car EXTRA
114 ;; porcupine strawberry airplane
116 ;; Use `delimit-columns-customize' to customize delim-col package variables.
