Perltidy TODO List
- This is a partial "wish-list" of features to add and things to do.
- Provide an option to ignore side comments when checking line length.
- That is, side comments would be allowed to be arbitrarily long without
- influencing line breaks.
+ For a list of bugs and feature requests see:
- Improved Vertical Alignment
- There are still many opportunities for improving vertical alignment.
+ https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Perl-Tidy
- Minimize the instances in which formatting changes on a second iteration.
-
- Add a convergence test when -it=n is used
-
- 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.
-
-Things which have been suggested but will not be done
- Recursive file processing
- A -r flag might be nice, but this is best handled by an exterior shell
- script.
-
- Make perltidy support the syntax of some module XXX.
- This generally won't be done unless the module is part of the core perl
- distribution. But in some cases it might be possible to use the prefilter
- and postfilter capabilities of the Tidy.pm module to help.
