While `delimit-columns-rectangle' ;; operates over the text rectangle selected which rectangle diagonal is ;; given by the region start and end. ;; ;; See `delimit-columns-format' variable documentation for column formatting. ;; ;; `delimit-columns-region' is useful when you have columns of text that ;; are not well aligned, like: ;; ;; horse apple bus ;; dog pineapple car ;; porcupine strawberry airplane ;; ;; `delimit-columns-region' and `delimit-columns-rectangle' handle lines ;; with different number of columns, like: ;; ;; horse apple bus ;; dog pineapple car EXTRA ;; porcupine strawberry airplane ;; ;; Use `delimit-columns-customize' to customize delim-col package variables. ;;; Code: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; User Options: (defgroup columns nil "Prettify columns." :link '(emacs-library-link :tag "Source Lisp File" "delim-col.el") :prefix "delimit-columns-" :group 'wp) (defcustom delimit-columns-str-before "" "Specify a string to be inserted before all columns." :type '(string :tag "Before All Columns") :group 'columns) (defcustom delimit-columns-str-separator ", " "Specify a string to be inserted between each column." :type '(string :tag "Between Each Column") :group 'columns) (defcustom delimit-columns-str-after "" "Specify a string to be inserted after all columns." :type '(string :tag "After All Columns") :group 'columns) (defcustom delimit-columns-before "" "Specify a string to be inserted before each column." :type '(string :tag "Before Each Column") :group 'columns) (defcustom delimit-columns-after "" "Specify a string to be inserted after each column." :type '(string :tag "After Each Column") :group 'columns) (defcustom delimit-columns-separator "\t" "Specify a regexp which separates each column." :type '(regexp :tag "Column Separator") :group 'columns) (defcustom delimit-columns-format t "Specify how to format columns.
