26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; This mode allows you to align regions in a context-sensitive fashion.
29 ;; The classic use is to align assignments:
30 ;;
31 ;; int a = 1;
32 ;; short foo = 2;
33 ;; double blah = 4;
34 ;;
35 ;; becomes
36 ;;
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.
49 ;;
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:
54 ;;
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.
67 ;;
68 ;; 2. Define your alignment and exclusion rules lists, either
69 ;; customizable or not.
70 ;;
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:
84 ;;
85 ;; (require 'align)
86 ;;
87 ;; (defcustom my-align-rules-list
88 ;; '((my-rule
89 ;; (regexp . "Sample")))
90 ;; :type align-rules-list-type
91 ;; :group 'my-package)
92 ;;
93 ;; (put 'my-align-rules-list 'risky-local-variable t)
94 ;;
95 ;; (add-to-list 'align-dq-string-modes 'my-package-mode)
96 ;; (add-to-list 'align-open-comment-modes 'my-package-mode)
97 ;;
98 ;; (defun my-mode ()
99 ;; ...
100 ;; (setq align-mode-rules-list my-align-rules-list))
101 ;;
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.
121 ;;; Code:
124 "Align text to a specific column, by regexp."
127 ;;; User Variables:
130 "*Hook that gets run after the aligner has been loaded."
135 "*If non-nil, indent the marked region before aligning it."
140 "*An integer that represents the default amount of padding to use.
141 If `align-to-tab-stop' is non-nil, this will represent the number of
142 tab stops to use for alignment, rather than the number of spaces.
143 Each alignment rule can optionally override both this variable. See
144 `align-mode-alist'."
149 "*If non-nil, alignments will always fall on a tab boundary.
150 It may also be a symbol, whose value will be taken."
155 "*If non-nil, used as a heuristic by `align-current'.
156 Since each alignment rule can possibly have its own set of alignment
157 sections (whenever `align-region-separate' is non-nil, and not a
158 string), this heuristic is used to determine how far before and after
159 point we should search in looking for a region separator. Larger
160 values can mean slower perform in large files, although smaller values
161 may cause unexpected behavior at times."
166 "*The face to highlight with if changes are necessary."
171 "*The face to highlight with if no changes are necessary."
177 If nil,then no messages will ever be printed to the minibuffer."
182 "*A list of modes whose syntax resembles C/C++."
187 "*A list of modes where perl syntax is to be seen."
193 "*A list of modes whose syntax resembles Lisp."
199 "*A list of modes whose syntax resembles TeX (and family)."
204 "*A list of modes whose content is plain text."
211 "*A list of modes where double quoted strings should be excluded."
217 "*A list of modes where single quoted strings should be excluded."
224 "*A list of modes with a single-line comment syntax.
225 These are comments as in Lisp, which have a beginning but, end with
226 the line (i.e., `comment-end' is an empty string)."
231 "*Select the method by which alignment sections will be separated.
232 If this is a symbol, that symbol's value will be used.
234 For the sake of clarification, consider the following example, which
235 will be referred to in the descriptions below.
237 int alpha = 1; /* one */
238 double beta = 2.0;
239 long gamma; /* ten */
241 unsigned int delta = 1; /* one */
242 long double epsilon = 3.0;
243 long long omega; /* ten */
245 The possible settings for `align-region-separate' are:
247 `entire' The entire region being aligned will be considered as a
248 single alignment section. Assuming that comments were not
249 being aligned to a particular column, the example would
250 become:
252 int alpha = 1; /* one */
253 double beta = 2.0;
254 long gamma; /* ten */
256 unsigned int delta = 1; /* one */
257 long double epsilon;
258 long long chi = 10; /* ten */
260 `group' Each contiguous set of lines where a specific alignment
261 occurs is considered a section for that alignment rule.
262 Note that each rule will may have any entirely different
263 set of section divisions than another.
265 int alpha = 1; /* one */
266 double beta = 2.0;
267 long gamma; /* ten */
269 unsigned int delta = 1; /* one */
270 long double epsilon;
271 long long chi = 10; /* ten */
273 `largest' When contiguous rule sets overlap, the largest section
274 described will be taken as the alignment section for each
275 rule touched by that section.
277 int alpha = 1; /* one */
278 double beta = 2.0;
279 long gamma; /* ten */
281 unsigned int delta = 1; /* one */
282 long double epsilon;
283 long long chi = 10; /* ten */
285 NOTE: This option is not supported yet, due to algorithmic
286 issues which haven't been satisfactorily resolved. There
287 are ways to do it, but they're both ugly and resource
288 consumptive.
290 regexp A regular expression string which defines the section
291 divider. If the mode you're in has a consistent divider
292 between sections, the behavior will be very similar to
293 `largest', and faster. But if the mode does not use clear
294 separators (for example, if you collapse your braces onto
295 the preceding statement in C or perl), `largest' is
296 probably the better alternative.
298 function A function that will be passed the beginning and ending
299 locations of the region in which to look for the section
300 separator. At the very beginning of the attempt to align,
301 both of these parameters will be nil, in which case the
302 function should return non-nil if it wants each rule to
303 define its own section, or nil if it wants the largest
304 section found to be used as the common section for all rules
305 that occur there.
307 list A list of markers within the buffer that represent where
308 the section dividers lie. Be certain to use markers! For
309 when the aligning begins, the ensuing contract/expanding of
310 whitespace will throw off any non-marker positions.
312 This method is intended for use in Lisp programs, and not
313 by the user."

582 "*An list describing all of the available alignment rules.
583 The format is:
585 ((TITLE
586 (ATTRIBUTE . VALUE) ...)
587 ...)
589 The following attributes are meaningful:
591 `regexp' This required attribute must be either a string describing
592 a regular expression, or a function (described below).
593 For every line within the section that this regular
594 expression matches, the given rule will be applied to that
595 line. The exclusion rules denote which part(s) of the
596 line should not be modified; the alignment rules cause the
597 identified whitespace group to be contracted/expanded such
599 immediately following the identified parenthesis group),
600 occurs in the same column for every line within the
601 alignment section (see `align-region-separate' for a
602 description of how the region is broken up into alignment
603 sections).
605 The `regexp' attribute describes how the text should be
606 treated. Within this regexp, there must be at least one
607 group of characters (typically whitespace) identified by
608 the special opening and closing parens used in regexp
610 the syntax of regular expressions for more info).
612 If `regexp' is a function, it will be called as a
613 replacement for `re-search-forward'. This means that it
614 should return nil if nothing is found to match the rule,
615 or it should set the match data appropriately, move point
616 to the end of the match, and return the value of point.
618 `group' For exclusion rules, the group identifies the range of
619 characters that should be ignored. For alignment rules,
620 these are the characters that will be deleted/expanded for
622 always the first character immediately following this
623 parenthesis group. This attribute may also be a list of
624 integer, in which case multiple alignment characters will
625 be aligned, with the list of integer identifying the
626 whitespace groups which precede them. The default for
627 this attribute is 1.
629 `modes' The `modes' attribute, if set, should name a list of
630 major modes -- or evaluate to such a value -- in which the
631 rule is valid. If not set, the rule will apply to all
632 modes.
634 `case-fold' If `regexp' is an ordinary regular expression string
635 containing alphabetic character, sometimes you may want
636 the search to proceed case-insensitively (for languages
637 that ignore case, such as pascal for example). In that
638 case, set `case-fold' to nil, and the regular expression
639 search will ignore case. If `regexp' is set to a
640 function, that function must handle the job of ignoring
641 case by itself.
643 `tab-stop' If the `tab-stop' attribute is set, and non-nil, the
644 alignment character will always fall on a tab stop
645 (whether it uses tabs to get there or not depends on the
646 value of `indent-tabs-mode'). If the `tab-stop' attribute
647 is set to nil, tab stops will never be used. Otherwise,
648 the value of `align-to-tab-stop' determines whether or not
649 to align to a tab stop. The `tab-stop' attribute may also
650 be a list of t or nil values, corresponding to the number
651 of parenthesis groups specified by the `group' attribute.
653 `repeat' If the `repeat' attribute is present, and non-nil, the
654 rule will be applied to the line continuously until no
655 further matches are found.
657 `valid' If the `valid' attribute is set, it will be used to
658 determine whether the rule should be invoked. This form
659 is evaluated after the regular expression match has been
660 performed, so that it is possible to use the results of
661 that match to determine whether the alignment should be
662 performed. The buffer should not be modified during the
663 evaluation of this form.
665 `run-if' Like `valid', the `run-if' attribute tests whether the
666 rule should be run at all -- even before any searches are
667 done to determine if the rule applies to the alignment
668 region. This can save time, since `run-if' will only be
669 run once for each rule. If it returns nil, the rule will
670 not be attempted.
672 `column' For alignment rules, if the `column' attribute is set --
673 which must be an integer, or a symbol whose value is an
674 integer -- it will be used as the column in which to align
675 the alignment character. If the text on a particular line
676 happens to overrun that column, a single space character,
677 or tab stop (see `align-to-tab-stop') will be added
678 between the last text character and the alignment
679 character.
681 `spacing' Alignment rules may also override the amount of spacing
682 that would normally be used by providing a `spacing'
683 attribute. This must be an integer, or a list of integers
684 corresponding to the number of parenthesis groups matched
685 by the `group' attribute. If a list of value is used, and
686 any of those values is nil, `align-default-spacing' will
687 be used for that subgroup. See `align-default-spacing'
688 for more details on spacing, tab stops, and how to
689 indicate how much spacing should be used. If TAB-STOP is
690 present, it will override the value of `align-to-tab-stop'
691 for that rule.
693 `justify' It is possible with `regexp' and `group' to identify a
694 character group that contains more than just whitespace
695 characters. By default, any non-whitespace characters in
696 that group will also be deleted while aligning the
697 alignment character. However, if the `justify' attribute
698 is set to a non-nil value, only the initial whitespace
699 characters within that group will be deleted. This has
700 the effect of right-justifying the characters that remain,
701 and can be used for outdenting or just plain old right-
702 justification.
704 `separate' Each rule can define its own section separator, which
706 within the region to be aligned. Setting the `separate'
707 attribute overrides the value of `align-region-separate'
708 (see the documentation of that variable for possible
709 values), and any separation argument passed to `align'."
