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

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 may have any entirely different set
263 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
305 rules 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."

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

1254 which case the range will stop at the nearest section division (see
1255 `align-region-separate', and `align-region-heuristic' for more
1256 information').
1258 The region will be divided into separate alignment sections based on
1259 the value of SEPARATE.
1261 RULES and EXCLUDE-RULES are a pair of lists describing how to align
1262 the region, and which text areas within it should be excluded from
1263 alignment. See the `align-rules-list' for more information on the
1264 required format of these two lists.
1266 If FUNC is specified, no text will be modified. What `align-region'
1267 will do with the rules is to search for the alignment areas, as it
1268 regularly would, taking account for exclusions, and then call FUNC,
1269 first with the beginning and ending of the region to be aligned
1270 according to that rule (this can be different for each rule, if BEG
1271 and END were nil), and then with the beginning and ending of each
1272 text region that the rule would have applied to.
1274 The signature of FUNC should thus be:
1276 (defun my-align-function (beg end mode)
1277 \"If MODE is a rule (a list), return t if BEG to END are to be searched.
1278 Otherwise BEG to END will be a region of text that matches the rule's
1279 definition, and MODE will be non-nil if any changes are necessary.\"
