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