26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; This mode allows you to align regions in a context-sensitive fashion.
29 ;; The classic use is to align assignments:
31 ;; int a = 1;
32 ;; short foo = 2;
33 ;; double blah = 4;
35 ;; becomes
37 ;; int a = 1;
38 ;; short foo = 2;
39 ;; double blah = 4;
41 ;;; Usage:
43 ;; There are several variables which define how certain "categories"
44 ;; of syntax are to be treated. These variables go by the name
45 ;; `align-CATEGORY-modes'. For example, "c++" is such a category.
46 ;; There are several rules which apply to c++, but since several other
47 ;; languages have a syntax similar to c++ (e.g., c, java, etc), these
48 ;; modes are treated as belonging to the same category.
50 ;; If you want to add a new mode under a certain category, just
51 ;; customize that list, or add the new mode manually. For example, to
52 ;; make jde-mode a c++ category mode, use this code in your .emacs
53 ;; file:
55 ;; (setq align-c++-modes (cons 'jde-mode align-c++-modes))
57 ;; In some programming modes, it's useful to have the aligner run only
58 ;; after indentation is performed. To achieve this, customize or set
59 ;; the variable `align-indent-before-aligning' to t.
61 ;;; Module Authors:
63 ;; In order to incorporate align's functionality into your own
64 ;; modules, there are only a few steps you have to follow.
66 ;; 1. Require or load in the align.el library.
68 ;; 2. Define your alignment and exclusion rules lists, either
69 ;; customizable or not.
71 ;; 3. In your mode function, set the variables
72 ;; `align-mode-rules-list' and `align-mode-exclude-rules-list'
73 ;; to your own rules lists.
75 ;; If there is any need to add your mode name to one of the
76 ;; align-?-modes variables (for example, `align-dq-string-modes'), use
77 ;; `add-to-list', or some similar function which checks first to see
78 ;; if the value is already there. Since the user may customize that
79 ;; mode list, and then write your mode name into their .emacs file,
80 ;; causing the symbol already to be present the next time they load
81 ;; your package.
83 ;; Example:
85 ;; (require 'align)
87 ;; (defcustom my-align-rules-list
88 ;; '((my-rule
89 ;; (regexp . "Sample")))
90 ;; :type align-rules-list-type
91 ;; :group 'my-package)
93 ;; (put 'my-align-rules-list 'risky-local-variable t)
95 ;; (add-to-list 'align-dq-string-modes 'my-package-mode)
96 ;; (add-to-list 'align-open-comment-modes 'my-package-mode)
98 ;; (defun my-mode ()
99 ;; ...
100 ;; (setq align-mode-rules-list my-align-rules-list))
102 ;; Note that if you need to install your own exclusion rules, then you
103 ;; will also need to reproduce any double-quoted string, or open
104 ;; comment exclusion rules that are defined in the standard
105 ;; `align-exclude-rules-list'. At the moment there is no convenient
106 ;; way to mix both mode-local and global rules lists.
108 ;;; History:
110 ;; Version 1.0 was created in the earlier part of 1996, using a very
111 ;; simple algorithm that understand only basic regular expressions.
112 ;; Parts of the code were broken up and included in vhdl-mode.el
113 ;; around this time. After several comments from users, and a need to
114 ;; find a more robust, performant algorithm, 2.0 was born in late
115 ;; 1998. Many different approaches were taken (mostly due to the
116 ;; complexity of TeX tables), but finally a scheme was discovered
117 ;; which worked fairly well for most common usage cases. Development
118 ;; beyond version 2.8 is not planned, except for problems that users
119 ;; might encounter.

238 int alpha = 1; /* one */
239 double beta = 2.0;
240 long gamma; /* ten */
242 unsigned int delta = 1; /* one */
243 long double epsilon = 3.0;
244 long long omega; /* ten */
246 The possible settings for `align-region-separate' are:
248 `entire' The entire region being aligned will be considered as a
249 single alignment section. Assuming that comments were not
250 being aligned to a particular column, the example would
251 become:
253 int alpha = 1; /* one */
254 double beta = 2.0;
255 long gamma; /* ten */
257 unsigned int delta = 1; /* one */
258 long double epsilon;
259 long long chi = 10; /* ten */
261 `group' Each contiguous set of lines where a specific alignment
262 occurs is considered a section for that alignment rule.
263 Note that each rule will may have any entirely different
264 set of section divisions than another.
266 int alpha = 1; /* one */
267 double beta = 2.0;
268 long gamma; /* ten */
270 unsigned int delta = 1; /* one */
271 long double epsilon;
272 long long chi = 10; /* ten */
274 `largest' When contiguous rule sets overlap, the largest section
275 described will be taken as the alignment section for each
276 rule touched by that section.
278 int alpha = 1; /* one */
279 double beta = 2.0;
280 long gamma; /* ten */
282 unsigned int delta = 1; /* one */
283 long double epsilon;
284 long long chi = 10; /* ten */
286 NOTE: This option is not supported yet, due to algorithmic
287 issues which haven't been satisfactorily resolved. There
288 are ways to do it, but they're both ugly and resource
289 consumptive.
291 regexp A regular expression string which defines the section
292 divider. If the mode you're in has a consistent divider
293 between sections, the behavior will be very similar to
294 `largest', and faster. But if the mode does not use clear
295 separators (for example, if you collapse your braces onto
296 the preceding statement in C or perl), `largest' is
297 probably the better alternative.
299 function A function that will be passed the beginning and ending
300 locations of the region in which to look for the section
301 separator. At the very beginning of the attempt to align,
302 both of these parameters will be nil, in which case the
303 function should return non-nil if it wants each rule to
304 define its own section, or nil if it wants the largest
305 section found to be used as the common section for all rules
306 that occur there.
308 list A list of markers within the buffer that represent where
309 the section dividers lie. Be certain to use markers! For
310 when the aligning begins, the ensuing contract/expanding of
311 whitespace will throw off any non-marker positions.
313 This method is intended for use in Lisp programs, and not
314 by the user."

606 sections).
608 The `regexp' attribute describes how the text should be
609 treated. Within this regexp, there must be at least one
610 group of characters (typically whitespace) identified by
611 the special opening and closing parens used in regexp
612 expressions (`\\\\(' and `\\\\)') (see the Emacs manual on
613 the syntax of regular expressions for more info).
615 If `regexp' is a function, it will be called as a
616 replacement for `re-search-forward'. This means that it
617 should return nil if nothing is found to match the rule,
618 or it should set the match data appropriately, move point
619 to the end of the match, and return the value of point.
621 `group' For exclusion rules, the group identifies the range of
622 characters that should be ignored. For alignment rules,
623 these are the characters that will be deleted/expanded for
624 the purposes of alignment. The \"alignment character\" is
625 always the first character immediately following this
626 parenthesis group. This attribute may also be a list of
627 integer, in which case multiple alignment characters will
628 be aligned, with the list of integer identifying the
629 whitespace groups which precede them. The default for
630 this attribute is 1.
632 `modes' The `modes' attribute, if set, should name a list of
633 major modes -- or evaluate to such a value -- in which the
634 rule is valid. If not set, the rule will apply to all
635 modes.
637 `case-fold' If `regexp' is an ordinary regular expression string
638 containing alphabetic character, sometimes you may want
639 the search to proceed case-insensitively (for languages
640 that ignore case, such as pascal for example). In that
641 case, set `case-fold' to a non-nil value, and the regular
642 expression search will ignore case. If `regexp' is set to
643 a function, that function must handle the job of ignoring
644 case by itself.
646 `tab-stop' If the `tab-stop' attribute is set, and non-nil, the
647 alignment character will always fall on a tab stop
648 (whether it uses tabs to get there or not depends on the
649 value of `indent-tabs-mode'). If the `tab-stop' attribute
650 is set to nil, tab stops will never be used. Otherwise,
651 the value of `align-to-tab-stop' determines whether or not
652 to align to a tab stop. The `tab-stop' attribute may also
653 be a list of t or nil values, corresponding to the number
654 of parenthesis groups specified by the `group' attribute.
656 `repeat' If the `repeat' attribute is present, and non-nil, the
657 rule will be applied to the line continuously until no
658 further matches are found.
660 `valid' If the `valid' attribute is set, it will be used to
661 determine whether the rule should be invoked. This form
662 is evaluated after the regular expression match has been
663 performed, so that it is possible to use the results of
664 that match to determine whether the alignment should be
665 performed. The buffer should not be modified during the
666 evaluation of this form.
668 `run-if' Like `valid', the `run-if' attribute tests whether the
669 rule should be run at all -- even before any searches are
670 done to determine if the rule applies to the alignment
671 region. This can save time, since `run-if' will only be
672 run once for each rule. If it returns nil, the rule will
673 not be attempted.
675 `column' For alignment rules, if the `column' attribute is set --
676 which must be an integer, or a symbol whose value is an
677 integer -- it will be used as the column in which to align
678 the alignment character. If the text on a particular line
679 happens to overrun that column, a single space character,
680 or tab stop (see `align-to-tab-stop') will be added
681 between the last text character and the alignment
682 character.
684 `spacing' Alignment rules may also override the amount of spacing
685 that would normally be used by providing a `spacing'
686 attribute. This must be an integer, or a list of integers
687 corresponding to the number of parenthesis groups matched
688 by the `group' attribute. If a list of value is used, and
689 any of those values is nil, `align-default-spacing' will
690 be used for that subgroup. See `align-default-spacing'
691 for more details on spacing, tab stops, and how to
692 indicate how much spacing should be used. If TAB-STOP is
693 present, it will override the value of `align-to-tab-stop'
694 for that rule.
696 `justify' It is possible with `regexp' and `group' to identify a
697 character group that contains more than just whitespace
698 characters. By default, any non-whitespace characters in
699 that group will also be deleted while aligning the
700 alignment character. However, if the `justify' attribute
701 is set to a non-nil value, only the initial whitespace
702 characters within that group will be deleted. This has
703 the effect of right-justifying the characters that remain,
704 and can be used for outdenting or just plain old right-
705 justification.
707 `separate' Each rule can define its own section separator, which
708 describes how to identify the separation of \"sections\"
709 within the region to be aligned. Setting the `separate'
710 attribute overrides the value of `align-region-separate'
711 (see the documentation of that variable for possible
712 values), and any separation argument passed to `align'."

1253 which case the range will stop at the nearest section division (see
1254 `align-region-separate', and `align-region-heuristic' for more
1255 information').
1257 The region will be divided into separate alignment sections based on
1258 the value of SEPARATE.
1260 RULES and EXCLUDE-RULES are a pair of lists describing how to align
1261 the region, and which text areas within it should be excluded from
1262 alignment. See the `align-rules-list' for more information on the
1263 required format of these two lists.
1265 If FUNC is specified, no text will be modified. What `align-region'
1266 will do with the rules is to search for the alignment areas, as it
1267 regularly would, taking account for exclusions, and then call FUNC,
1268 first with the beginning and ending of the region to be aligned
1269 according to that rule (this can be different for each rule, if BEG
1270 and END were nil), and then with the beginning and ending of each
1271 text region that the rule would have applied to.
1273 The signature of FUNC should thus be:
1275 (defun my-align-function (beg end mode)
1276 \"If MODE is a rule (a list), return t if BEG to END are to be searched.
1277 Otherwise BEG to END will be a region of text that matches the rule's
1278 definition, and MODE will be non-nil if any changes are necessary.\"
