Improved Vertical Alignment
There are many opportunities for improving vertical alignment.
improved ?: formatting
- An indentation level should be associated with ?: statements. This will
+ An indentation level should be associated with ?: statements. This would
make nested ?: statements more readable.
- Recursive file processing
- A -r flag might be nice.
+ 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';
Documentation
A FAQ is needed to explain some of the more subtle formatting issues,
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.
