Perltidy TODO List This is a partial "wish-list" of features to add and things to do. All of these are of interest, but there is no particular schedule for implementing them. Improved Vertical Alignment There are many opportunities for improving vertical alignment. More options for controling placement of opening/closing tokens Many have requested even more options to control opening and closing token placement. improved ?: formatting An indentation level should be associated with ?: statements. This will make nested ?: statements more readable. improved internal if/unless formatting Consider giving internal if/unless statements an additional level of indentation. This would avoid running out of indentation levels. Suggested by Jeff Armstorng. For example, we would like the 'ands' in the following statement to be indented more than the if: return $ship->chargeWeapons("phaser-canon") if $encounter->description eq 'klingon' and $ship->firepower >= $encounter->firepower and $location->status ne 'neutral'; enable -ole under Windows This only works under unix (or cygwin) at present. It doesn't work for Windows versions, such as Active State, because they change line endings that they don't like. Documentation A FAQ is needed to explain some of the more subtle formatting issues, and to give examples of different styles. The -formatter callback object documentation is incomplete. HTML writer The HTML writer does not colorize interpolated identifiers in here documents or quoted strings. The tokenizer outputs interpolation information for here docs; it still needs to be updated to do this for multi-line quotes. Then code needs to be written to scan for and markup identifiers. Automatic style detection It would be nice to write a program to read a sample of perl code and write an approximate .perltidyrc file for that style. Things which have been suggested but will not be done Recursive file processing A -r flag might be nice, but this is probably best handled by an exterior shell script.
