8 " function Justify( [ textwidth [, maxspaces [, indent] ] ] )
10 " Justify() will left and right align a line by filling in an
11 " appropriate amount of spaces. Extra spaces are added to existing
12 " spaces starting from the right side of the line. As an example, the
13 " following documentation has been justified.
15 " The function takes the following arguments:
19 " If not specified, the value of the 'textwidth' option is used. If
20 " 'textwidth' is zero a value of 80 is used.
22 " Additionally the arguments 'tw' and '' are accepted. The value of
23 " 'textwidth' will be used. These are handy, if you just want to specify
24 " the maxspaces argument.
28 " If specified, alignment will only be done, if the longest space run
29 " after alignment is no longer than maxspaces.
31 " An argument of '' is accepted, should the user like to specify all
34 " To aid user defined commands, negative values are accepted aswell.
35 " Using a negative value specifies the default behaviour: any length of
36 " space runs will be used to justify the text.
40 " This argument specifies how a line should be indented. The default is
41 " to keep the current indentation.
43 " Negative values: Keep current amount of leading whitespace.
44 " Positive values: Indent all lines with leading whitespace using this
45 " amount of whitespace.
47 " Note that the value 0, needs to be quoted as a string. This value
48 " leads to a left flushed text.
50 " Additionally units of 'shiftwidth'/'sw' and 'tabstop'/'ts' may be
51 " added. In this case, if the value of indent is positive, the amount of
52 " whitespace to be added will be multiplied by the value of the
53 " 'shiftwidth' and 'tabstop' settings. If these units are used, the
54 " argument must be given as a string, eg. Justify('','','2sw').
56 " If the values of 'sw' or 'tw' are negative, they are treated as if
57 " they were 0, which means that the text is flushed left. There is no
58 " check if a negative number prefix is used to change the sign of a
59 " negative 'sw' or 'ts' value.
61 " As with the other arguments, '' may be used to get the default
67 " If the line, adjusted for space runs and leading/trailing whitespace,
68 " is wider than the used textwidth, the line will be left untouched (no
69 " whitespace removed). This should be equivalent to the behaviour of
70 " :left, :right and :center.
72 " If the resulting line is shorter than the used textwidth it is left
75 " All space runs in the line are truncated before the alignment is
78 " If you have set 'noexpandtab', :retab! is used to replace space runs
79 " with whitespace using the value of 'tabstop'. This should be
80 " conformant with :left, :right and :center.
82 " If joinspaces is set, an extra space is added after '.', '?' and '!'.
83 " If 'cpooptions' include 'j', extra space is only added after '.'.
84 " (This may on occasion conflict with maxspaces.)
89 " Mappings that will align text using the current text width, using at
90 " most four spaces in a space run and keeping current indentation.
91 nmap _j :%call Justify('tw',4)<CR>
92 vmap _j :call Justify('tw',4)<CR>
94 " Mappings that will remove space runs and format lines (might be useful
95 " prior to aligning the text).
96 nmap ,gq :%s/\s\+/ /g<CR>gq1G
97 vmap ,gq :s/\s\+/ /g<CR>gvgq
100 " User defined command:
102 " The following is an ex command that works as a shortcut to the Justify
103 " function. Arguments to Justify() can be added after the command.
104 com! -range -nargs=* Justify <line1>,<line2>call Justify(<f-args>)
106 " The following commands are all equivalent:
108 " 1. Simplest use of Justify():
112 " 2. The _j mapping above via the ex command:
115 " 3. Justify visualised text at 72nd column while indenting all
116 " previously indented text two shiftwidths
117 " :'<,'>call Justify(72,'','2sw')
118 " :'<,'>Justify 72 -1 2sw
120 " This documentation has been justified using the following command:
121 ":se et|kz|1;/^" function Justify(/+,'z-g/^" /s/^" //|call Justify(70,3)|s/^/" /
124 " 001103: If 'joinspaces' was set, calculations could be wrong.
125 " Tabs at start of line could also lead to errors.
126 " Use setline() instead of "exec 's/foo/bar/' - safer.
