2 This is a partial "wish-list" of features to add and things to do. All
3 of these are of interest, but there is no particular schedule for
6 Improved Vertical Alignment
7 There are many opportunities for improving vertical alignment.
10 An indentation level should be associated with ?: statements. This would
11 make nested ?: statements more readable.
13 improved internal if/unless formatting
14 Consider giving internal if/unless statements an additional level of
15 indentation. This would avoid running out of indentation levels.
16 Suggested by Jeff Armstorng. For example, we would like the 'ands' in
17 the following statement to be indented more than the if:
19 return $ship->chargeWeapons("phaser-canon")
20 if $encounter->description eq 'klingon'
21 and $ship->firepower >= $encounter->firepower
22 and $location->status ne 'neutral';
24 enable -ole under Windows
25 This only works under unix (or cygwin) at present. It doesn't work for
26 Windows versions, such as Active State, because they change line endings
30 A FAQ is needed to explain some of the more subtle formatting issues,
31 and to give examples of different styles.
33 The -formatter callback object documentation is incomplete.
36 The HTML writer does not colorize interpolated identifiers in here
37 documents or quoted strings. The tokenizer outputs interpolation
38 information for here docs; it still needs to be updated to do this for
39 multi-line quotes. Then code needs to be written to scan for and markup
42 Automatic style detection
43 It would be nice to write a program to read a sample of perl code and
44 write an approximate .perltidyrc file for that style.
46 Things which have been suggested but will not be done
47 Recursive file processing
48 A -r flag might be nice, but this is probably best handled by an
49 exterior shell script.
