32 ;; delim-col helps to prettify columns in a text region or rectangle.
34 ;; To use it, make sure that this file is in load-path and insert in your
37 ;; (require 'delim-col)
39 ;; If you have, for example, the following columns:
46 ;; And the following settings:
48 ;; (setq delimit-columns-str-before "[ ")
49 ;; (setq delimit-columns-str-after " ]")
50 ;; (setq delimit-columns-str-separator ", ")
51 ;; (setq delimit-columns-before "")
52 ;; (setq delimit-columns-after "")
53 ;; (setq delimit-columns-separator "\t")
54 ;; (setq delimit-columns-format 'separator)
55 ;; (setq delimit-columns-extra t)
57 ;; If you select the lines above and type:
59 ;; M-x delimit-columns-region RET
61 ;; You obtain the following result:
64 ;; [ aaaa, bb , ccc , ddddd ]
65 ;; [ aaa , bbb, cccc , dddd ]
66 ;; [ aa , bb , ccccccc, ddd ]
68 ;; But if you select start from the very first b to the very last c and type:
70 ;; M-x delimit-columns-rectangle RET
72 ;; You obtain the following result:
75 ;; aaaa [ bb , ccc ] ddddd
76 ;; aaa [ bbb, cccc ] dddd
77 ;; aa [ bb , ccccccc ] ddd
79 ;; Now, if we change settings to:
81 ;; (setq delimit-columns-before "<")
82 ;; (setq delimit-columns-after ">")
84 ;; For the `delimit-columns-region' example above, the result is:
86 ;; [ <a> , <b> , <c> , <d> ]
87 ;; [ <aaaa>, <bb> , <ccc> , <ddddd> ]
88 ;; [ <aaa> , <bbb>, <cccc> , <dddd> ]
89 ;; [ <aa> , <bb> , <ccccccc>, <ddd> ]
91 ;; And for the `delimit-columns-rectangle' example above, the result is:
94 ;; aaaa [ <bb> , <ccc> ] ddddd
95 ;; aaa [ <bbb>, <cccc> ] dddd
96 ;; aa [ <bb> , <ccccccc> ] ddd
98 ;; Note that `delimit-columns-region' operates over all text region
99 ;; selected, extending the region start to the beginning of line and the
100 ;; region end to the end of line. While `delimit-columns-rectangle'
101 ;; operates over the text rectangle selected which rectangle diagonal is
102 ;; given by the region start and end.
104 ;; See `delimit-columns-format' variable documentation for column formating.
106 ;; `delimit-columns-region' is useful when you have columns of text that
107 ;; are not well aligned, like:
111 ;; porcupine strawberry airplane
113 ;; `delimit-columns-region' and `delimit-columns-rectangle' handle lines
114 ;; with different number of columns, like:
117 ;; dog pineapple car EXTRA
118 ;; porcupine strawberry airplane
120 ;; Use `delimit-columns-customize' to customize delim-col package variables.
