29;;; Commentary:
30
31;; delim-col helps to prettify columns in a text region or rectangle.
32;;
33;; To use it, make sure that this file is in load-path and insert in your
34;; .emacs:
35;;
36;; (require 'delim-col)
37;;
38;; If you have, for example, the following columns:
39;;
40;; a b c d
41;; aaaa bb ccc ddddd
395be66e 42;; aaa bbb cccc dddd
854f487a
DL
43;; aa bb ccccccc ddd
44;;
45;; And the following settings:
46;;
47;; (setq delimit-columns-str-before "[ ")
48;; (setq delimit-columns-str-after " ]")
49;; (setq delimit-columns-str-separator ", ")
395be66e
GM
50;; (setq delimit-columns-before "")
51;; (setq delimit-columns-after "")
854f487a 52;; (setq delimit-columns-separator "\t")
395be66e
GM
53;; (setq delimit-columns-format 'separator)
54;; (setq delimit-columns-extra t)
854f487a
DL
55;;
56;; If you select the lines above and type:
57;;
58;; M-x delimit-columns-region RET
59;;
60;; You obtain the following result:
61;;
62;; [ a , b , c , d ]
63;; [ aaaa, bb , ccc , ddddd ]
64;; [ aaa , bbb, cccc , dddd ]
65;; [ aa , bb , ccccccc, ddd ]
66;;
395be66e 67;; But if you select start from the very first b to the very last c and type:
854f487a
DL
68;;
69;; M-x delimit-columns-rectangle RET
70;;
71;; You obtain the following result:
72;;
73;; a [ b , c ] d
74;; aaaa [ bb , ccc ] ddddd
75;; aaa [ bbb, cccc ] dddd
76;; aa [ bb , ccccccc ] ddd
77;;
395be66e
GM
78;; Now, if we change settings to:
79;;
80;; (setq delimit-columns-before "<")
81;; (setq delimit-columns-after ">")
82;;
83;; For the `delimit-columns-region' example above, the result is:
84;;
85;; [ <a> , <b> , <c> , <d> ]
86;; [ <aaaa>, <bb> , <ccc> , <ddddd> ]
87;; [ <aaa> , <bbb>, <cccc> , <dddd> ]
88;; [ <aa> , <bb> , <ccccccc>, <ddd> ]
89;;
90;; And for the `delimit-columns-rectangle' example above, the result is:
91;;
92;; a [ <b> , <c> ] d
93;; aaaa [ <bb> , <ccc> ] ddddd
94;; aaa [ <bbb>, <cccc> ] dddd
95;; aa [ <bb> , <ccccccc> ] ddd
96;;
854f487a
DL
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.
102;;
395be66e
GM
103;; See `delimit-columns-format' variable documentation for column formating.
104;;
854f487a
DL
105;; `delimit-columns-region' is useful when you have columns of text that
106;; are not well aligned, like:
107;;
108;; horse apple bus
109;; dog pineapple car
110;; porcupine strawberry airplane
111;;
112;; `delimit-columns-region' and `delimit-columns-rectangle' handle lines
113;; with different number of columns, like:
114;;
115;; horse apple bus
116;; dog pineapple car EXTRA
117;; porcupine strawberry airplane
395be66e
GM
118;;
119;; Use `delimit-columns-customize' to customize delim-col package variables.
