29 ;;; Commentary:
31 ;; delim-col helps to prettify columns in a text region or rectangle.
33 ;; To use it, make sure that this file is in load-path and insert in your
34 ;; .emacs:
36 ;; (require 'delim-col)
38 ;; If you have, for example, the following columns:
40 ;; a b c d
41 ;; aaaa bb ccc ddddd
42 ;; aaa bbb cccc dddd
43 ;; aa bb ccccccc ddd
45 ;; And the following settings:
47 ;; (setq delimit-columns-str-before "[ ")
48 ;; (setq delimit-columns-str-after " ]")
49 ;; (setq delimit-columns-str-separator ", ")
50 ;; (setq delimit-columns-before "")
51 ;; (setq delimit-columns-after "")
52 ;; (setq delimit-columns-separator "\t")
53 ;; (setq delimit-columns-format 'separator)
54 ;; (setq delimit-columns-extra t)
56 ;; If you select the lines above and type:
58 ;; M-x delimit-columns-region RET
60 ;; You obtain the following result:
62 ;; [ a , b , c , d ]
63 ;; [ aaaa, bb , ccc , ddddd ]
64 ;; [ aaa , bbb, cccc , dddd ]
65 ;; [ aa , bb , ccccccc, ddd ]
67 ;; But if you select start from the very first b to the very last c and type:
69 ;; M-x delimit-columns-rectangle RET
71 ;; You obtain the following result:
73 ;; a [ b , c ] d
74 ;; aaaa [ bb , ccc ] ddddd
75 ;; aaa [ bbb, cccc ] dddd
76 ;; aa [ bb , ccccccc ] ddd
78 ;; Now, if we change settings to:
80 ;; (setq delimit-columns-before "<")
81 ;; (setq delimit-columns-after ">")
83 ;; For the `delimit-columns-region' example above, the result is:
85 ;; [ <a> , <b> , <c> , <d> ]
86 ;; [ <aaaa>, <bb> , <ccc> , <ddddd> ]
87 ;; [ <aaa> , <bbb>, <cccc> , <dddd> ]
88 ;; [ <aa> , <bb> , <ccccccc>, <ddd> ]
90 ;; And for the `delimit-columns-rectangle' example above, the result is:
92 ;; a [ <b> , <c> ] d
93 ;; aaaa [ <bb> , <ccc> ] ddddd
94 ;; aaa [ <bbb>, <cccc> ] dddd
95 ;; aa [ <bb> , <ccccccc> ] ddd
97 ;; Note that `delimit-columns-region' operates over all text region
98 ;; selected, extending the region start to the beginning of line and the
99 ;; region end to the end of line. While `delimit-columns-rectangle'
100 ;; operates over the text rectangle selected which rectangle diagonal is
101 ;; given by the region start and end.
103 ;; See `delimit-columns-format' variable documentation for column formating.
105 ;; `delimit-columns-region' is useful when you have columns of text that
106 ;; are not well aligned, like:
108 ;; horse apple bus
109 ;; dog pineapple car
110 ;; porcupine strawberry airplane
112 ;; `delimit-columns-region' and `delimit-columns-rectangle' handle lines
113 ;; with different number of columns, like:
115 ;; horse apple bus
116 ;; dog pineapple car EXTRA
117 ;; porcupine strawberry airplane
119 ;; Use `delimit-columns-customize' to customize delim-col package variables.
