- DISCLAIMER
-
- No responsibilities are taken for trashed sources, damaged Amigas
- or any other components or data involved while using ged4indent.
-
- CREDITS
-
- This script is based on material written by Michael Bauer. His
- scripts are available from `aminet:dev/c/GEDindent.lha', but
- does no longer work with GoldEd, release 4.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Copy the ARexx-script `ged4indent.ged' to `GoldEd:ARexx/', and
- build up a new menu entry for it, for example:
-
- COMMAND: GoldEd:Arexx/ged4indent.ged
- TYPE : Arexx
- OUTPUT : CON:0/2048/384/128/indent/AUTO/WAIT/CLOSE/SCREENGOLDED.1
-
- Error messages will then appear on the screen of GoldEd.
-
- CONFIGURATION
-
- By default, `indent' will be invoked using options which will match
- the style GoldEd supports in it's initial configuration. If you do
- not like this style, you can set an environment variable named
- `ged4indent.prefs' with your preferred style, for example:
-
- setenv ged4indent.prefs "-bl -bli0 -i4 -sob -sc -npsl -npcs -lp"
-
- You can add a line like the above to your s:user-startup.
-
- Refer to the manual of indent for the meaning of these options.
-
- ERROR HANDLING
-
- In case of `indent' shows up any error messages, a window will open
- and display these messages. The source code in the current editor
- window remains untouched.
-
- But usually the message reported by `indent' are not of much use.
- You better run a compiler on your faulty source code to find out
- details.
-
- INDENTING A SINGLE FUNCTIONS
-
- If you do not want to indent the whole file, but just the function
- the cursor currently is in, there is a second script included called
- `ged4findent.ged'.
-
- To find the beginning of the current function, it searches backwards
- for a `{' at the first column of a line. If found, it searches for
- the corresponding `}' and marks the text in between.
-
- This block is written to a temporary file, processed by `indent' and
- reloaded again. Because of the block operations, there will be some
- flickering on the screen.
-
- Installation and configuration work as described above, too.
-
- PROBLEMS
-
- The version of `indent' included on the Geek Gadgets v1 always opens
- an output window on the screen, even if `indent' does not show any
- messages. I do not know why. Use the SAS-compiled port in
- aminet:dev/c.
-
- For `ged4findent.ged' it is important that the first curly bracket
- (`{') of the function is in the first column of a line.
-
