\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Thanks}
I first created \texttt{latexindent.pl} to help me format chapter files in a big project.
After I blogged about it on the \TeX{} stack exchange \cite{cmhblog} I received some
positive feedback and follow-up feature requests. A big thank you to Harish Kumar
\cite{harish} who helped to develop and test the initial versions of the script.
The \texttt{YAML}-based interface of \texttt{latexindent.pl} was inspired by the
wonderful \texttt{arara} tool; any similarities are deliberate, and I hope that it is
perceived as the compliment that it is. Thank you to Paulo Cereda and the team for
releasing this awesome tool; I initially worried that I was going to have to make a GUI
for \texttt{latexindent.pl}, but the release of \texttt{arara} has meant there is no
need.
There have been several contributors to the project so far (and hopefully more in the
future!); thank you very much to the people detailed in \vref{sec:contributors} for
their valued contributions, and thank you to those who report bugs and request features
at \cite{latexindent-home}.
\subsection{License}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} is free and open source, and it always will be; it
is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0.
Before you start using it on any important files, bear in mind that
\texttt{latexindent.pl} has the option to overwrite your \texttt{.tex} files. It will
always make at least one backup (you can choose how many it makes, see
\cpageref{page:onlyonebackup}) but you should still be careful when using it. The script
has been tested on many files, but there are some known limitations (see
\cref{sec:knownlimitations}). You, the user, are responsible for ensuring that you
maintain backups of your files before running \texttt{latexindent.pl} on them. I think
it is important at this stage to restate an important part of the license here:
\begin{quote}\itshape
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
\end{quote}
There is certainly no malicious intent in releasing this script, and I do hope that it
works as you expect it to; if it does not, please first of all make sure that you have
the correct settings, and then feel free to let me know at \cite{latexindent-home} with
a complete minimum working example as I would like to improve the code as much as
possible.
\begin{warning}
Before you try the script on anything important (like your thesis), test it out on the
sample files in the \texttt{test-case} directory \cite{latexindent-home}.
\index{warning!be sure to test before use}
\end{warning}
\emph{If you have used any version 2.* of \texttt{latexindent.pl}, there
are a few changes to the interface; see \vref{app:differences} and the comments
throughout this document for details}.
\subsection{Quick start}\label{sec:quickstart}
When \texttt{latexindent.pl} reads and writes files, the files are read and written in UTF-8 format by default.
That is to say, the encoding format for tex and yaml files needs to be in UTF-8 format.
If you'd like to get started with \texttt{latexindent.pl} then simply type
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
from the command line.
We give an introduction to \texttt{latexindent.pl} using \cref{lst:quick-start}; there
is no explanation in this section, which is deliberate for a quick start. The rest of
the manual is more verbose.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/quick-start.tex}{\texttt{quick-start.tex}}{lst:quick-start}
Running
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl quick-start.tex
\end{commandshell}
gives \cref{lst:quick-start-default}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/quick-start-default.tex}{\texttt{quick-start-default.tex}}{lst:quick-start-default}
\begin{example}
Running

See \cref{sec:noadd-indent-rules}.
\end{example}
\subsection{Required perl modules}
If you receive an error message such as that given in
\cref{lst:poss-errors}, then you need to install the missing perl modules.
\begin{cmhlistings}[style=tcblatex,language=Perl]{Possible error messages}{lst:poss-errors}
Can't locate File/HomeDir.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.12 /Network/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.12 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.12.4/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/Updates/5.12.4 /System/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.12 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12 .) at helloworld.pl line 10.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at helloworld.pl line 10.
\end{cmhlistings}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} ships with a script to help with this process; if you run the
following script, you should be prompted to install the appropriate modules.
\begin{commandshell}
perl latexindent-module-installer.pl
\end{commandshell}

for example, as well as \vref{sec:requiredmodules}.
\subsection{About this documentation}
As you read through this documentation, you will see many listings; in this version of
the documentation, there are a total of \totallstlistings. This may seem a lot, but I
deem it necessary in presenting the various different options of \texttt{latexindent.pl}
and the associated output that they are capable of producing.
The different listings are presented using different styles:
\begin{widepage}
\begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/demo-tex.tex}{\texttt{demo-tex.tex}}{lst:demo-tex}
\end{minipage}%
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth}
This type of listing is a \texttt{.tex} file.
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=fileExtensionPreference]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{fileExtensionPreference}}{lst:fileExtensionPreference-demo}
\end{minipage}%
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth}
This type of listing is a \texttt{.yaml} file; when you see line numbers given (as here)
it means that the snippet is taken directly from \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml}, discussed in
detail in \vref{sec:defuseloc}.
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{.6\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=modifylinebreaks]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.95\linewidth,before=\centering]{\texttt{modifyLineBreaks}}{lst:modifylinebreaks-demo}
\end{minipage}%
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth}
This type of listing is a \texttt{.yaml} file, but it will only
be relevant when the \texttt{-m} switch is active; see \vref{sec:modifylinebreaks}
for more details.
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{.6\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=replacements]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[replace-TCB,width=.95\linewidth,before=\centering]{\texttt{replacements}}{lst:replacements-demo}
\end{minipage}%
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth}
This type of listing is a \texttt{.yaml} file, but it will only
be relevant when the \texttt{-r} switch is active; see \vref{sec:replacements}
for more details.
\end{minipage}%
\end{widepage}
% \begin{latexonly}
You will occasionally see dates shown in the margin (for example, next to this
paragraph!) \announce{2017-06-25}{announce} which detail the date of the version in
which the feature was implemented; the `N' stands for `new as of the date shown' and `U'
stands for `updated as of the date shown'. If you see \stardemo, it means that the
feature is either new (N) or updated (U) as of the release of the current version; if
you see \stardemo\, attached to a listing, then it means that listing is new (N) or
updated (U) as of the current version. If you have not read this document before (and
even if you have!), then you can ignore every occurrence of the \stardemo; they are
simply there to highlight new and updated features. The new and updated features in this
documentation (\gitRel) are on the following pages: \listOfNewFeatures% % \end{latexonly}
\subsection{A word about regular expressions}
\index{regular expressions!a word about}
As you read this documentation, you may encounter the term \emph{regular expressions}.
I've tried to write this documentation in such a way so as to allow you to engage with
them or not, as you prefer. This documentation is not designed to be a guide to regular
expressions, and if you'd like to read about them, I recommend \cite{masteringregexp}.

\section{Demonstration: before and after}
Let's give a demonstration of some before and after code -- after all, you probably
won't want to try the script if you don't much like the results. You might also like to
watch the video demonstration I made on youtube \cite{cmh:videodemo}
As you look at \crefrange{lst:filecontentsbefore}{lst:pstricksafter}, remember that
\texttt{latexindent.pl} is just following its rules, and there is nothing particular
about these code snippets. All of the rules can be modified so that you can personalise
your indentation scheme.
In each of the samples given in \crefrange{lst:filecontentsbefore}{lst:pstricksafter}
the `before' case is a `worst case scenario' with no effort to make indentation. The
`after' result would be the same, regardless of the leading white space at the beginning
of each line which is stripped by \texttt{latexindent.pl} (unless a
\texttt{verbatim}-like environment or \texttt{noIndentBlock} is specified -- more on
this in \cref{sec:defuseloc}).
\begin{widepage}
\centering
\begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/filecontents1.tex}{\texttt{filecontents1.tex}}{lst:filecontentsbefore}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/filecontents1-default.tex}{\texttt{filecontents1.tex} default output}{lst:filecontentsafter}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tikzset.tex}{\texttt{tikzset.tex}}{lst:tikzsetbefore}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tikzset-default.tex}{\texttt{tikzset.tex} default output}{lst:tikzsetafter}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/pstricks.tex}{\texttt{pstricks.tex}}{lst:pstricksbefore}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/pstricks-default.tex}{\texttt{pstricks.tex} default output}{lst:pstricksafter}
\end{minipage}%

\section{How to use the script}\label{sec:how:to:use}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} ships as part of the \TeX Live distribution for
Linux and Mac users; \texttt{latexindent.exe} ships as part of the \TeX Live for Windows
users. These files are also available from github \cite{latexindent-home} should you wish
to use them without a \TeX{} distribution; in this case, you may like to read
\vref{sec:updating-path} which details how the \texttt{path} variable can be updated.
\index{TeXLive}
In what follows, we will always refer to \texttt{latexindent.pl}, but depending on your
operating system and preference, you might substitute \texttt{latexindent.exe} or simply
\texttt{latexindent}.
There are two ways to use \texttt{latexindent.pl}: from the command line, and using
\texttt{arara}; we discuss these in \cref{sec:commandline} and \cref{sec:arara}
respectively. We will discuss how to change the settings and behaviour of the script in
\vref{sec:defuseloc}.
\subsection{Requirements}
\subsubsection{Perl users}
Perl users will need a few standard Perl modules -- see \vref{sec:requiredmodules} for
details; \announce{2018-01-13}{perl module installer helper script} in particular, note
that a module installer helper script is shipped with \texttt{latexindent.pl}.%
\subsubsection{Windows users without perl}\label{subsubsec:latexindent:exe}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} ships with \texttt{latexindent.exe} for Windows
users, so that you can use the script with or without a Perl distribution.
\texttt{latexindent.exe} is available from \cite{latexindent-home}.
MiKTeX users on Windows may like to see \cite{miktex-guide} for details of how to use
\texttt{latexindent.exe} without a Perl installation. \index{MiKTeX}
\index{latexindent.exe} \index{Windows}
\subsubsection{Ubuntu Linux users without perl}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} ships with \texttt{latexindent-linux} for Ubuntu
Linux users, so that you can use the script with or without a Perl distribution.
\index{latexindent-linux} \index{linux} \index{TeXLive}
\texttt{latexindent-linux} is available from \cite{latexindent-home}.
\announce{2022-10-30}{Linux Ubuntu standalone executable}
\subsubsection{macOS users without perl}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} ships with \texttt{latexindent-macos} for macOS
users, so that you can use the script with or without a Perl distribution.
\index{latexindent-macos} \index{macOS} \index{TeXLive}
\texttt{latexindent-macOS} is available from \cite{latexindent-home}.
\announce{2022-10-30}{macOS standalone executable}
\subsubsection{conda users}
Users of \texttt{conda} should see the details given in \cref{sec:app:conda}.
\index{conda}
\subsubsection{docker users}
Users of \texttt{docker} should see the details given in \cref{sec:app:docker}.
\index{docker}
\subsection{From the command line}\label{sec:commandline}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} has a number of different switches/flags/options, which
can be combined in any way that you like, either in short or long form as detailed below.
\texttt{latexindent.pl} produces a \texttt{.log} file, \texttt{indent.log}, every time it
is run; the name of the log file can be customised, but we will refer to the log file as
\texttt{indent.log} throughout this document. There is a base of information that is
written to \texttt{indent.log}, but other additional information will be written
depending on which of the following options are used.
When using \texttt{latexindent.pl} in different ways on different systems, the range of
characters supported by its switches/flags/options may vary. We discuss these in Section
\cref{app:encoding}.
\flagbox{-v, --version}
\index{switches!-v, --version definition and details}
\announce{2017-06-25}{version}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -v
latexindent.pl --version
\end{commandshell}
This will output only the version number to the terminal.
\flagbox{-vv, --vversion}
\index{switches!-vv, --vversion definition and details}
\announce{2022-01-08}{vversion switch}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -vv
latexindent.pl --vversion
\end{commandshell}
This will output \emph{verbose} version details to the terminal, including the location
of \texttt{latexindent.pl} and \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml}.
\flagbox{-h, --help}
\index{switches!-h, --help definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -h
latexindent.pl --help
\end{commandshell}
As above this will output a welcome message to the terminal, including the version
number and available options.
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
This will operate on \texttt{myfile.tex}, but will simply output to your terminal;
\texttt{myfile.tex} will not be changed by \texttt{latexindent.pl} in any way using this
command.
You can \announce{2022-03-25}{batches of files demonstration} instruct
\texttt{latexindent.pl} to operate on multiple (batches) of files, for example
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile1.tex myfile2.tex
\end{commandshell}
Full details are given in \vref{sec:batches}.
\flagbox{-w, --overwrite}
\index{switches!-w, --overwrite definition and details}
\index{backup files!overwrite switch, -w}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -w myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --overwrite myfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex --overwrite
\end{commandshell}
This \emph{will} overwrite \texttt{myfile.tex}, but it will make a copy of
\texttt{myfile.tex} first. You can control the name of the extension (default is
\texttt{.bak}), and how many different backups are made -- more on this in
\cref{sec:defuseloc}, and in particular see \texttt{backupExtension} and
\texttt{onlyOneBackUp}.
Note that if \texttt{latexindent.pl} can not create the backup, then it will exit
without touching your original file; an error message will be given asking you to check
the permissions of the backup file.
\flagbox{-wd, --overwriteIfDifferent}
\index{switches!-wd, --overwriteIfDifferent definition and details}
\index{backup files!overwriteIfDifferent switch, -wd}
\announce{2022-03-25}{overwriteIfDifferent switch}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -wd myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --overwriteIfDifferent myfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex --overwriteIfDifferent
\end{commandshell}
This \emph{will} overwrite \texttt{myfile.tex} but only \emph{if the indented text is
different from the original}. If the indented text is \emph{not} different from the
original, then \texttt{myfile.tex} will \emph{not} be overwritten.
All other details from the \texttt{-w} switch are relevant here. If you call
\texttt{latexindent.pl} with both the \texttt{-wd} and the \texttt{-w} switch, then the
\texttt{-w} switch will be deactivated and the \texttt{-wd} switch takes priority.
\flagbox{-o=output.tex,--outputfile=output.tex}
\index{switches!-o, --output definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -o=output.tex myfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o=output.tex
latexindent.pl --outputfile=output.tex myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --outputfile output.tex myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
This will indent \texttt{myfile.tex} and output it to \texttt{output.tex}, overwriting
it (\texttt{output.tex}) if it already exists\footnote{Users of version 2.* should note
the subtle change in syntax}.
Note that if \texttt{latexindent.pl} is called with both the \texttt{-w} and \texttt{-o}
switches, then \texttt{-w} will be ignored and \texttt{-o} will take priority (this
seems safer than the other way round). The same is true for the \texttt{-wd} switch, and
the \texttt{-o} switch takes priority over it.
Note that using \texttt{-o} as above is equivalent to using
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile.tex > output.tex
\end{commandshell}
You can call the \texttt{-o} switch with the name of the output file \emph{without} an
extension; in \announce{2017-06-25}{upgrade to -o switch} this case,
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will use the extension from the original file. For example, the
following two calls to \texttt{latexindent.pl} are equivalent:%
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o=output
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o=output.tex
\end{commandshell}
You can call the \texttt{-o} switch using a \texttt{+} symbol at the beginning; this
will \announce{2017-06-25}{+ sign in o switch} concatenate the name of the input file
and the text given to the \texttt{-o} switch. For example, the following two calls to
\texttt{latexindent.pl} are equivalent:%
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o=+new
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o=myfilenew.tex
\end{commandshell}
You can call the \texttt{-o} switch using a \texttt{++} symbol at the end of the name
\announce{2017-06-25}{++ in o switch} of your output file; this tells
\texttt{latexindent.pl} to search successively for the name of your output file
concatenated with $0, 1, \ldots$ while the name of the output file exists. For example,%
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o=output++
\end{commandshell}
tells \texttt{latexindent.pl} to output to \texttt{output0.tex}, but if it exists then
output to \texttt{output1.tex}, and so on.
Calling \texttt{latexindent.pl} with simply
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o=++
\end{commandshell}
tells it to output to \texttt{myfile0.tex}, but if it exists then output to
\texttt{myfile1.tex} and so on.
The \texttt{+} and \texttt{++} feature of the \texttt{-o} switch can be combined; for
example, calling
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o=+out++
\end{commandshell}
tells \texttt{latexindent.pl} to output to \texttt{myfileout0.tex}, but if it exists,
then try \texttt{myfileout1.tex}, and so on.
There is no need to specify a file extension when using the \texttt{++} feature, but if
you wish to, then you should include it \emph{after} the \texttt{++} symbols, for
example
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o=+out++.tex

\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -t myfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -t
\end{commandshell}
\label{page:traceswitch}
Tracing mode: verbose output will be given to \texttt{indent.log}. This is useful if
\texttt{latexindent.pl} has made a mistake and you're trying to find out where and why.
You might also be interested in learning about \texttt{latexindent.pl}'s thought process
-- if so, this switch is for you, although it should be noted that, especially for large
files, this does affect performance of the script.
\flagbox{-tt, --ttrace}
\index{switches!-tt, --ttrace definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -tt myfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -tt
\end{commandshell}
\emph{More detailed} tracing mode: this option gives more details to
\texttt{indent.log}
than the standard \texttt{trace} option (note that, even more so than with \texttt{-t},
especially for large files, performance of the script will be affected).
\flagbox{-l, --local[=myyaml.yaml,other.yaml,...]}
\index{switches!-l, --local definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -l=myyaml.yaml myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -l myyaml.yaml myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -l first.yaml,second.yaml,third.yaml myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -l=first.yaml,second.yaml,third.yaml myfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -l=first.yaml,second.yaml,third.yaml
\end{commandshell}
\label{page:localswitch}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will always load \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml} (rhymes with
camel) and if it is called with the \texttt{-l} switch and it finds
\texttt{localSettings.yaml} in the same directory as \texttt{myfile.tex}, then, if not
found, it looks for \texttt{localSettings.yaml} (and friends, see
\vref{sec:localsettings}) in the current working directory, then
these%
\announce{2021-03-14}*{-l switch: localSettings and
friends} settings will be added to the indentation scheme. Information will be given in
\texttt{indent.log} on the success or failure of loading \texttt{localSettings.yaml}.
The \texttt{-l} flag can take an \emph{optional} parameter which details the name (or
names separated by commas) of a YAML file(s) that resides in the same directory as
\texttt{myfile.tex}; you can use this option if you would like to load a settings file
in the current working directory that is \emph{not} called \texttt{localSettings.yaml}.
\announce{2017-08-21}*{-l switch absolute paths} In fact, you can specify both
\emph{relative} and \emph{absolute paths} for your YAML files; for example%
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l=../../myyaml.yaml myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -l=/home/cmhughes/Desktop/myyaml.yaml myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -l=C:\Users\cmhughes\Desktop\myyaml.yaml myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
You will find a lot of other explicit demonstrations of how to use the \texttt{-l}
switch throughout this documentation,
You can call the \texttt{-l} switch with a `+' symbol either before or after
\announce{2017-06-25}{+ sign with -l switch} another YAML file; for example:
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l=+myyaml.yaml myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -l "+ myyaml.yaml" myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -l=myyaml.yaml+ myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
which translate, respectively, to
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l=localSettings.yaml,myyaml.yaml myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -l=localSettings.yaml,myyaml.yaml myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -l=myyaml.yaml,localSettings.yaml myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
Note that the following is \emph{not} allowed:
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l+myyaml.yaml myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
and
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l + myyaml.yaml myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
will \emph{only} load \texttt{localSettings.yaml}, and \texttt{myyaml.yaml} will be
ignored. If you wish to use spaces between any of the YAML settings, then you must wrap
the entire list of YAML files in quotes, as demonstrated above.
You may also choose to omit the \texttt{yaml} extension, such as
\announce{2017-06-25}{no extension for -l switch}%
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l=localSettings,myyaml myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}

\end{commandshell}
\label{page:yamlswitch}You%
\announce{2017-08-21}{the -y switch} can specify YAML settings from the command line
using the \texttt{-y} or \texttt{--yaml} switch; sample demonstrations are given above.
Note, in particular, that multiple settings can be specified by separating them via
commas. There is a further option to use a \texttt{;} to separate fields, which is
demonstrated in \vref{sec:yamlswitch}.
Any settings specified via this switch will be loaded \emph{after} any specified using
the \texttt{-l} switch. This is discussed further in \vref{sec:loadorder}. \flagbox{-d,
--onlydefault} \index{switches!-d, --onlydefault definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -d myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
Only \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml}: you might like to read \cref{sec:defuseloc} before
using this switch. By default, \texttt{latexindent.pl} will always search for
\texttt{indentconfig.yaml} or \texttt{.indentconfig.yaml} in your home directory. If you
would prefer it not to do so then (instead of deleting or renaming
\texttt{indentconfig.yaml} or \texttt{.indentconfig.yaml}) you can simply call the
script with the \texttt{-d} switch; note that this will also tell the script to ignore
\texttt{localSettings.yaml} even if it has been called with the \texttt{-l} switch;
\texttt{latexindent.pl} \announce{2017-08-21}*{updated -d switch} will also ignore any
settings specified from the \texttt{-y} switch.%
\flagbox{-c, --cruft=}
\index{switches!-c, --cruft definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -c=/path/to/directory/ myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
If you wish to have backup files and \texttt{indent.log} written to a directory other
than the current working directory, then you can send these `cruft' files to another
directory. Note the use of a trailing forward slash. % this switch was made as a result of http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/142652/output-latexindent-auxiliary-files-to-a-different-directory
If the cruft directory does not exist, \texttt{latexindent.pl} will attempt to create
it.
\flagbox{-g, --logfile=}
\index{switches!-g, --logfile definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -g=other.log myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -g other.log myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --logfile other.log myfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -g other.log
\end{commandshell}
By default, \texttt{latexindent.pl} reports information to \texttt{indent.log}, but if
you wish to change the name of this file, simply call the script with your chosen name
after the \texttt{-g} switch as demonstrated above.
\announce{2021-05-07}{log file creation updated} If \texttt{latexindent.pl} can not open
the log file that you specify, then the script will operate, and no log file will be
produced; this might be helpful to users who wish to specify the following, for example
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -g /dev/null myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
\flagbox{-sl, --screenlog}
\index{switches!-sl, --screenlog definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -sl myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -screenlog myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
Using this \announce{2018-01-13}{screenlog switch created} option tells
\texttt{latexindent.pl} to output the log file to the screen, as well as to your chosen
log file.%
\flagbox{-m, --modifylinebreaks}
\index{switches!-m, --modifylinebreaks definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -modifylinebreaks myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
One of the most exciting developments in Version~3.0 is the ability to modify line
breaks; for full details see \vref{sec:modifylinebreaks}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} can also be called on a file without the file extension, for
example
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile
\end{commandshell}
and in which case, you can specify the order in which extensions are searched for; see
\vref{lst:fileExtensionPreference} for full details. \flagbox{STDIN}
\begin{commandshell}
cat myfile.tex | latexindent.pl
cat myfile.tex | latexindent.pl -
\end{commandshell}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will%
\announce{2018-01-13}{STDIN allowed} allow input from STDIN, which means that you can
pipe output from other commands directly into the script. For example assuming that you
have content in \texttt{myfile.tex}, then the above command will output the results of
operating upon \texttt{myfile.tex}.
If you wish to use this feature with your own local settings, via the \texttt{-l}
switch, then you should finish your call to \texttt{latexindent.pl} with a \texttt{-}
sign:
\begin{commandshell}
cat myfile.tex | latexindent.pl -l=mysettings.yaml -
\end{commandshell}
Similarly, if you \announce{2018-01-13}*{no options/filename updated} simply type
\texttt{latexindent.pl} at the command line, then it will expect (STDIN) input from the
command line.%
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl
\end{commandshell}
Once you have finished typing your input, you can press
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{CTRL+D} on Linux
\item \texttt{CTRL+Z} followed by \texttt{ENTER} on Windows
\end{itemize}
to signify that your input has finished. Thanks to \cite{xu-cheng} for an update to this
feature. \flagbox{-r, --replacement} \index{switches!-r, --replacement definition and

\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -replacement myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
You can \announce{2019-07-13}{replacement mode switch} call \texttt{latexindent.pl} with
the \texttt{-r} switch to instruct it to perform replacements/substitutions on your

\end{commandshell}
You can \announce{2019-07-13}{replacement mode switch, respecting verbatim} instruct
\texttt{latexindent.pl} to perform replacements/substitutions by using the \texttt{-rv}
switch, but will \emph{respect verbatim code blocks}; full details and examples are

\index{switches!-rr, --onlyreplacement definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}

\end{commandshell}
You can \announce{2019-07-13}{replacement (only) mode switch} instruct
\texttt{latexindent.pl} to skip all of its other indentation operations and \emph{only}
perform replacements/substitutions by using the \texttt{-rr} switch; full details and
examples are given in \vref{sec:replacements}.%
\flagbox{-k, --check}
\index{switches!-k, --check definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -k myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -check myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
You can \announce{2021-09-16}{-k,-check switch} instruct \texttt{latexindent.pl} to
check if the text after indentation matches that given in the original file.%
The \texttt{exit} code \index{exit code} of \texttt{latexindent.pl} is 0 by default. If
you use the \texttt{-k} switch then
\begin{itemize}
\item if the text after indentation matches that given in the original file, then the
exit code is 0;
\item if the text after indentation does \emph{not} match that given in the original
file, then the exit code is 1.
\end{itemize}
The value of the exit code may be important to those wishing to, for example, check the
status of the indentation in continuous integration tools such as GitHub Actions. Full
details of the exit codes of \texttt{latexindent.pl} are given in \cref{tab:exit-codes}.
A simple \texttt{diff} will be given in \texttt{indent.log}.
\flagbox{-kv, --checkv}
\index{switches!-kv, --checkv definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -kv myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -checkv myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
\announce{2021-09-16}{-kv, -checkv: check verbose switch} The \texttt{check verbose}
switch is exactly the same as the \texttt{-k} switch, except that it is \emph{verbose},
and it will output the (simple) diff to the terminal, as well as to \texttt{indent.log}.
\flagbox{-n, --lines=MIN-MAX}
\index{switches!-n, --lines definition and details}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -n 5-8 myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -lines 5-8 myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
\announce{2021-09-16}{-n, -lines switch} The \texttt{lines} switch instructs
\texttt{latexindent.pl} to operate only on specific line ranges within
\texttt{myfile.tex}.
Complete demonstrations are given in \cref{sec:line-switch}.
\flagbox{--GCString}
\index{switches!--GCString}
\begin{commandshell}

\end{commandshell}
\announce{2022-03-25}{GCString switch} instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to load the
\texttt{Unicode::GCString} module. This should only be necessary if you find that the
alignment at ampersand routine (described in \cref{subsec:align-at-delimiters}) does not
work for your language. Further details are given in \cref{subsec:the-GCString}.
\subsection{From arara}\label{sec:arara}
Using \texttt{latexindent.pl} from the command line is fine for some folks, but others
may find it easier to use from \texttt{arara}; you can find the arara rule for

\index{exit code!summary}
Assuming that you call \texttt{latexindent.pl} on \texttt{myfile.tex}
\begin{commandshell}

\section{indentconfig.yaml, local settings and the -y switch }\label{sec:indentconfig}
The behaviour of \texttt{latexindent.pl} is controlled from the settings specified in
any of the YAML files that you tell it to load. By default, \texttt{latexindent.pl} will
only load \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml}, but there are a few ways that you can tell it
to load your own settings files.
We focus our discussion on \texttt{indentconfig.yaml}, but there are other options which
are detailed in \cref{app:indentconfig:options}. \announce{2023-01-01}{indentconfig
location options}
\subsection{indentconfig.yaml and .indentconfig.yaml}\label{subsec:indentconfig}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will always check your home directory for
\texttt{indentconfig.yaml}
and \texttt{.indentconfig.yaml} (unless it is called with the \texttt{-d} switch), which
is a plain text file you can create that contains the \emph{absolute} paths for any
settings files that you wish \texttt{latexindent.pl} to load. There is no difference
between \texttt{indentconfig.yaml} and \texttt{.indentconfig.yaml}, other than the fact
that \texttt{.indentconfig.yaml} is a `hidden' file; thank you to
\cite{jacobo-diaz-hidden-config} for providing this feature. In what follows, we will use
\texttt{indentconfig.yaml}, but it is understood that this could equally represent
\texttt{.indentconfig.yaml}. If you have both files in existence then
\texttt{indentconfig.yaml} takes priority.
For Mac and Linux users, their home directory is \texttt{~/username} while Windows
(Vista onwards) is \lstinline!C:\Users\username!\footnote{If you're not sure where to
put \texttt{indentconfig.yaml}, don't worry \texttt{latexindent.pl} will tell you in the
log file exactly where to put it assuming it doesn't exist already.}
\Cref{lst:indentconfig} shows a sample \texttt{indentconfig.yaml} file.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/indent-config.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{indentconfig.yaml} (sample)}{lst:indentconfig}
Note that the \texttt{.yaml} files you specify in \texttt{indentconfig.yaml} will be
loaded in the order in which you write them. Each file doesn't have to have every switch
from \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml}; in fact, I recommend that you only keep the switches
that you want to \emph{change} in these settings files.
To get started with your own settings file, you might like to save a copy of
\texttt{defaultSettings.yaml} in another directory and call it, for example,
\texttt{mysettings.yaml}. Once you have added the path to \texttt{indentconfig.yaml} you
can change the switches and add more code-block names to it as you see fit -- have a
look at \cref{lst:mysettings} for an example that uses four tabs for the default indent,
adds the \texttt{tabbing} environment/command to the list of environments that contains
alignment delimiters; you might also like to refer to the many YAML files detailed
throughout the rest of this documentation. \index{indentation!defaultIndent using YAML
file}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/tabbing.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{mysettings.yaml} (example)}{lst:mysettings}
You can make sure that your settings are loaded by checking \texttt{indent.log} for
details -- if you have specified a path that \texttt{latexindent.pl} doesn't recognise
then you'll get a warning, otherwise you'll get confirmation that
\texttt{latexindent.pl} has read your settings file \footnote{Windows users may find
that they have to end \texttt{.yaml} files with a blank line}. \index{warning!editing
YAML files}
\begin{warning}
When editing \texttt{.yaml} files it is \emph{extremely} important to remember how
sensitive they are to spaces. I highly recommend copying and pasting from
\texttt{defaultSettings.yaml} when you create your first
\texttt{whatevernameyoulike.yaml} file.
If \texttt{latexindent.pl} can not read your \texttt{.yaml} file it will tell you so in
\texttt{indent.log}.
\end{warning}
As of \announce*{2024-04-28}{paths within local YAML settings} you can specify the
\texttt{paths} field from \cref{lst:indentconfig} within any of your
\texttt{latexindent.yaml} and friends settings files. This can lead to creative nesting
of configuration files; a demonstration is given in \vref{sec:appendix:paths}.
\subsection{localSettings.yaml and friends}\label{sec:localsettings}
The \texttt{-l} switch tells \texttt{latexindent.pl} to look for
\texttt{localSettings.yaml} and/or friends in the \emph{same directory} as
\texttt{myfile.tex}. For%
\announce{2021-03-14}*{-l
switch: localSettings and friends} example, if you use the following command
\index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
then \texttt{latexindent.pl} will search for and then, assuming they exist, load each of
the following files in the following order:
\begin{enumerate}
\item localSettings.yaml
\item latexindent.yaml
\item .localSettings.yaml
\item .latexindent.yaml
\end{enumerate}
These files will be assumed to be in the same directory as \texttt{myfile.tex}, or
otherwise in the current working directory. You do not need to have all of the above
files, usually just one will be sufficient. In what follows, whenever we refer to
\texttt{localSettings.yaml} it is assumed that it can mean any of the four named options
listed above.
If you'd prefer to name your \texttt{localSettings.yaml} file something different, (say,
\texttt{mysettings.yaml} as in \cref{lst:mysettings}) then you can call
\texttt{latexindent.pl} using, for example,
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l=mysettings.yaml myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
Any settings file(s) specified using the \texttt{-l} switch will be read \emph{after}
\texttt{defaultSettings.yaml} and, assuming they exist, any user setting files specified
in \texttt{indentconfig.yaml}.
Your settings file can contain any switches that you'd like to change; a sample is shown
in \cref{lst:localSettings}, and you'll find plenty of further examples throughout this
manual. \index{verbatim!verbatimEnvironments demonstration (-l switch)}
\begin{yaml}{\texttt{localSettings.yaml} (example)}{lst:localSettings}
# verbatim environments - environments specified
# here will not be changed at all!
verbatimEnvironments:
cmhenvironment: 0
myenv: 1
\end{yaml}
You can make sure that your settings file has been loaded by checking
\texttt{indent.log} for details; if it can not be read then you receive a warning,
otherwise you'll get confirmation that \texttt{latexindent.pl} has read your settings
file.
\subsection{The -y|yaml switch}\label{sec:yamlswitch}
You%
\announce{2017-08-21}{demonstration of the -y switch}
may use the \texttt{-y} switch to load your settings; for example, if you wished to
specify the settings from \cref{lst:localSettings} using the \texttt{-y} switch, then you
could use the following command:
\index{verbatim!verbatimEnvironments demonstration (-y switch)}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -y="verbatimEnvironments:cmhenvironment:0;myenv:1" myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
Note the use of \texttt{;} to specify another field within
\texttt{verbatimEnvironments}. This is shorthand, and equivalent, to using the following
command: \index{switches!-y demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -y="verbatimEnvironments:cmhenvironment:0,verbatimEnvironments:myenv:1" myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
You may, of course, specify settings using the \texttt{-y} switch as well as, for
example, settings loaded using the \texttt{-l} switch; for example, \index{switches!-l
demonstration} \index{switches!-y demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l=mysettings.yaml -y="verbatimEnvironments:cmhenvironment:0;myenv:1" myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
Any settings specified using the \texttt{-y} switch will be loaded \emph{after} any
specified using \texttt{indentconfig.yaml} and the \texttt{-l} switch.
If you wish to specify any regex-based settings using the \texttt{-y} switch,
\index{regular expressions!using -y switch} it is important not to use quotes
surrounding the regex; for example, with reference to the `one sentence per line'
feature (\vref{sec:onesentenceperline}) and the listings within
\vref{lst:sentencesEndWith}, the following settings give the option to have sentences
end with a semicolon \index{switches!-y demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m --yaml='modifyLineBreaks:oneSentencePerLine:sentencesEndWith:other:\;'
\end{commandshell}
Note that the \texttt{paths} settings (see \vref{sec:appendix:paths}) can \emph{not} be
specified using the \texttt{-y} switch.
\subsection{Settings load order}\label{sec:loadorder}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} loads the settings files in the following order:
\index{switches!-l in relation to other settings}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml} is always loaded, and can not be renamed;
\item \texttt{anyUserSettings.yaml} and any other arbitrarily-named files specified in
\texttt{indentconfig.yaml};
\item \texttt{localSettings.yaml} but only if found in the same directory as
\texttt{myfile.tex}
and called with \texttt{-l} switch; this file can be renamed, provided that the call to
\texttt{latexindent.pl} is adjusted accordingly (see \cref{sec:localsettings}). You may
specify both relative and absolute%
\announce{2017-08-21}*{-l absolute paths} paths to other YAML files using the \texttt{-l}
switch, separating multiple files using commas;
\item any settings \announce{2017-08-21}{-y switch load order} specified in the
\texttt{-y} switch.%
\end{enumerate}
A visual representation of this is given in \cref{fig:loadorder}.
\begin{figure}[!htb]
\centering
\input{figure-schematic}
\caption{Schematic of the load order described in \cref{sec:loadorder}; solid lines represent
mandatory files, dotted lines represent optional files. \texttt{indentconfig.yaml} can
contain as many files as you like. The files will be loaded in order; if you specify
settings for the same field in more than one file, the most recent takes priority. }

% arara: pdflatex: { files: [latexindent]}
\section{defaultSettings.yaml}\label{sec:defuseloc}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} loads its settings from \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml}. The idea
is to separate the behaviour of the script from the internal working -- this is very
similar to the way that we separate content from form when writing our documents in
\LaTeX.
If you look in \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml} you'll find the switches that govern the
behaviour of \texttt{latexindent.pl}. If you're not sure where
\texttt{defaultSettings.yaml} resides on your computer, don't worry as
\texttt{indent.log} will tell you where to find it. \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml} is
commented, but here is a description of what each switch is designed to do. The default
value is given in each case; whenever you see \emph{integer} in \emph{this} section,
assume that it must be greater than or equal to \texttt{0} unless otherwise stated.
For most of the settings in \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml} that are specified as
integers, then we understand \texttt{0} to represent `off' and \texttt{1} to represent
`on'. For fields that allow values other than \texttt{0} or \texttt{1}, it is hoped that
the specific context and associated commentary should make it clear which values are
allowed.
\yamltitle{fileExtensionPreference}*{fields}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} can be called to
act on a file without specifying the file extension. For example we can call
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile
\end{commandshell}
in which case the script will look for \texttt{myfile} with the extensions specified in
\texttt{fileExtensionPreference} in their numeric order. If no match is found, the
script will exit. As with all of the fields, you should change and/or add to this as
necessary.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=fileExtensionPreference]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{fileExtensionPreference}}{lst:fileExtensionPreference}
Calling \texttt{latexindent.pl myfile} with the (default) settings specified in
\cref{lst:fileExtensionPreference} means that the script will first look for
\texttt{myfile.tex}, then \texttt{myfile.sty}, \texttt{myfile.cls}, and finally
\texttt{myfile.bib} in order\footnote{Throughout this manual, listings shown with line
numbers represent code taken directly from \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml}.}.
\index{backup files!extension settings}
\subsection{Backup and log file preferences}
\yamltitle{backupExtension}*{extension name}
If you call \texttt{latexindent.pl} with the \texttt{-w} switch (to overwrite
\texttt{myfile.tex}) then it will create a backup file before doing any indentation; the
default extension is \texttt{.bak}, so, for example, \texttt{myfile.bak0} would be
created when calling \texttt{latexindent.pl myfile.tex} for the first time.
By default, every time you subsequently call \texttt{latexindent.pl} with the
\texttt{-w} to act upon \texttt{myfile.tex}, it will create successive back up files:
\texttt{myfile.bak1}, \texttt{myfile.bak2}, etc.
\yamltitle{onlyOneBackUp}*{integer}
\label{page:onlyonebackup}
\index{backup files!number of backup files}
If you don't want a backup for every time that you call \texttt{latexindent.pl} (so you
don't want \texttt{myfile.bak1}, \texttt{myfile.bak2}, etc) and you simply want
\texttt{myfile.bak} (or whatever you chose \texttt{backupExtension} to be) then change
\texttt{onlyOneBackUp} to \texttt{1}; the default value of \texttt{onlyOneBackUp} is
\texttt{0}.
\index{backup files!maximum number of backup files}
\index{backup files!number of backup files}
\yamltitle{maxNumberOfBackUps}*{integer}
Some users may only want a finite number of backup files, say at most $3$, in which
case, they can change this switch. The smallest value of \texttt{maxNumberOfBackUps} is
$0$ which will \emph{not} prevent backup files being made; in this case, the behaviour
will be dictated entirely by \texttt{onlyOneBackUp}. The default value of
\texttt{maxNumberOfBackUps} is \texttt{0}.
\yamltitle{cycleThroughBackUps}*{integer}
\index{backup files!cycle through}
Some users may wish to cycle through backup files, by deleting the oldest backup file and
keeping only the most recent; for example, with \texttt{maxNumberOfBackUps: 4}, and
\texttt{cycleThroughBackUps} set to \texttt{1} then the \texttt{copy} procedure given
below would be obeyed.
\begin{commandshell}
copy myfile.bak1 to myfile.bak0
copy myfile.bak2 to myfile.bak1
copy myfile.bak3 to myfile.bak2
copy myfile.bak4 to myfile.bak3
\end{commandshell}
The default value of \texttt{cycleThroughBackUps} is \texttt{0}.
\yamltitle{logFilePreferences}*{fields}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} writes information to \texttt{indent.log}, some
of which can be customized by changing \texttt{logFilePreferences}; see
\cref{lst:logFilePreferences}. If you load your own user settings (see
\vref{sec:indentconfig}) then \texttt{latexindent.pl} will detail them in
\texttt{indent.log}; you can choose not to have the details logged by switching
\texttt{showEveryYamlRead} to \texttt{0}. Once all of your settings have been loaded, you
can see the amalgamated settings in the log file by switching
\texttt{showAmalgamatedSettings} to \texttt{1}, if you wish.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=logFilePreferences,]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.9\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{logFilePreferences}}{lst:logFilePreferences}
When \announce{2018-01-13}{showDecorationStartCodeBlockTrace feature for log file}
either of the \texttt{trace} modes (see \cpageref{page:traceswitch}) are active, you
will receive detailed information in \texttt{indent.log}. You can specify character
strings to appear before and after the notification of a found code block using,
respectively, \texttt{showDecorationStartCodeBlockTrace} and
\texttt{showDecorationFinishCodeBlockTrace}. A demonstration is given in
\vref{app:logfile-demo}.%
The log file will end with the characters given in \texttt{endLogFileWith}, and will
report the \texttt{GitHub} address of \texttt{latexindent.pl} to the log file if
\texttt{showGitHubInfoFooter} is set to \texttt{1}.
Note: \texttt{latexindent.pl} no longer uses the \texttt{log4perl} module to handle the
creation of the logfile. \announce{2021-03-14}*{no longer using log4perl}%
Some of the options \announce{2021-06-19}*{logFilePreferences updated to include Dumper
options} for Perl's \texttt{Dumper} module can be specified in
\cref{lst:logFilePreferences}; see \cite{dumper} and \cite{dumperdemo} for more
information. These options will mostly be helpful for those calling
\texttt{latexindent.pl} with the \texttt{-tt} option described in
\cref{sec:commandline}.%
\subsection{Verbatim code blocks}
\yamltitle{verbatimEnvironments}*{fields}
A field that contains a list of environments that you would like left completely alone
-- no indentation will be performed on environments that you have specified in this
field, see \cref{lst:verbatimEnvironments}. \index{verbatim!environments}
\index{verbatim!commands}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=verbatimEnvironments]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{verbatimEnvironments}}{lst:verbatimEnvironments}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=verbatimCommands]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{verbatimCommands}}{lst:verbatimCommands}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Note that if you put an environment in \texttt{verbatimEnvironments} and in other fields
such as \texttt{lookForAlignDelims} or \texttt{noAdditionalIndent} then
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will \emph{always} prioritize \texttt{verbatimEnvironments}.
You can, optionally, specify \announce{2021-10-30}{verbatim name feature} the
\texttt{verbatim} field using the \texttt{name} field which takes a regular expression
as its argument; thank you to \cite{XuehaiPan} for contributing this feature.
\begin{example}
For demonstration, then assuming that your file contains the environments
\texttt{latexcode}, \texttt{latexcode*}, \texttt{pythoncode} and \texttt{pythoncode*},
then the listings given in \cref{lst:nameAsRegex1,lst:nameAsRegex2} are equivalent.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/nameAsRegex1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{nameAsRegex1.yaml}}{lst:nameAsRegex1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/nameAsRegex2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{nameAsRegex2.yaml}}{lst:nameAsRegex2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
With reference to \cref{lst:nameAsRegex2}:
\begin{itemize}
\item the \texttt{name} field as specified here means \emph{any word followed by the
word code, optionally followed by *};
\item we have used \texttt{nameAsRegex} to identify this field, but you can use any
description you like;
\item the \texttt{lookForThis} field is optional, and can take the values 0 (off) or 1
(on); by default, it is assumed to be 1 (on).
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\yamltitle{verbatimCommands}*{fields}
A field that contains a list of commands that are verbatim commands, for example
\lstinline|\lstinline|; any commands populated in this field are protected from line
breaking routines (only relevant if the \texttt{-m} is active, see
\vref{sec:modifylinebreaks}).
With reference to \cref{lst:verbatimCommands}, by default \texttt{latexindent.pl} looks
for \lstinline|\verb| immediately followed by another character, and then it takes the
body as anything up to the next occurrence of the character; this means that, for
example, \lstinline|\verb!x+3!| is treated as a \texttt{verbatimCommands}.
You can, optionally, specify \announce{2021-10-30}{verbatimCommands name feature} the
\texttt{verbatimCommands} field using the \texttt{name} field which takes a regular
expression as its argument; thank you to \cite{XuehaiPan} for contributing this feature.
\begin{example}
For demonstration, then assuming that your file contains the commands
\texttt{verbinline}, \texttt{myinline} then the listings given in
\cref{lst:nameAsRegex3,lst:nameAsRegex4} are equivalent.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/nameAsRegex3.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{nameAsRegex3.yaml}}{lst:nameAsRegex3}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/nameAsRegex4.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{nameAsRegex4.yaml}}{lst:nameAsRegex4}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
With reference to \cref{lst:nameAsRegex4}:
\begin{itemize}
\item the \texttt{name} field as specified here means \emph{any word followed by the
word inline};
\item we have used \texttt{nameAsRegex} to identify this field, but you can use any
description you like;
\item the \texttt{lookForThis} field is optional, and can take the values 0 (off) or 1
(on); by default, it is assumed to be 1 (on).
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\yamltitle{noIndentBlock}*{fields}
If you have a block of code that you don't want \texttt{latexindent.pl} to touch (even
if \index{verbatim!noIndentBlock} it is \emph{not} a verbatim-like environment) then you
can wrap it in an environment from \texttt{noIndentBlock}; you can use any name you like
for this, provided you populate it as demonstrate in \cref{lst:noIndentBlock}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=noIndentBlock]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.4\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{noIndentBlock}}{lst:noIndentBlock}
Of course, you don't want to have to specify these as null environments in your code, so
you use them with a comment symbol, \lstinline!%!, followed by as many spaces (possibly
none) as you like; see \cref{lst:noIndentBlockdemo} for example.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/noindentblock.tex}{\texttt{noIndentBlock.tex}}{lst:noIndentBlockdemo}
Important note: it is assumed that the \texttt{noindent} block statements specified in
this way appear on their own line.
\begin{example}
The \texttt{noIndentBlock} fields can also be specified in terms of \texttt{begin} and
\texttt{end} fields. We use the code in \cref{lst:noIndentBlock1} to demonstrate this
feature.\announce{2021-06-19}{noIndentBlock specified as regex}%
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/noindentblock1.tex}{\texttt{noIndentBlock1.tex}}{lst:noIndentBlock1}
The settings given in \cref{lst:noindent1,lst:noindent2} are equivalent:
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=3,
raster left skip=-3.5cm,
raster right skip=-2cm,
raster column skip=.03\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/noindent1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{noindent1.yaml}}{lst:noindent1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/noindent2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{noindent2.yaml}}{lst:noindent2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/noindent3.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{noindent3.yaml}}{lst:noindent3}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Upon running the commands
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l noindent1.yaml noindent1
latexindent.pl -l noindent2.yaml noindent1
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output given in \cref{lst:noIndentBlock1-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/noindentblock1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{noIndentBlock1.tex} using \cref{lst:noindent1} or \cref{lst:noindent2}}{lst:noIndentBlock1-mod1}
\end{example}
The \texttt{begin}, \texttt{body} and \texttt{end} fields for \texttt{noIndentBlock} are
all \emph{regular expressions}. If the \texttt{body} field is not specified, then it
takes a default value of \lstinline!.*?! which is written explicitly in
\cref{lst:noindent1}. In this context, we interpret \lstinline!.*?! in words as
\emph{the fewest number of characters (possibly none) until the `end' field is reached}.
The \texttt{lookForThis} field is optional, and can take the values 0 (off) or 1 (on);
by default, it is assumed to be 1 (on).
\begin{example}
Using \cref{lst:noindent3} demonstrates setting \texttt{lookForThis} to 0 (off); running
the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l noindent3.yaml noindent1
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:noIndentBlock1-mod3}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/noindentblock1-mod3.tex}{\texttt{noIndentBlock1.tex} using \cref{lst:noindent3}}{lst:noIndentBlock1-mod3}
\end{example}
We will demonstrate this feature later in the documentation in \cref{lst:href3}.
You can, optionally, specify \announce{2021-10-30}{noIndentBlock name feature} the
\texttt{noIndentBlock} field using the \texttt{name} field which takes a regular
expression as its argument; thank you to \cite{XuehaiPan} for contributing this feature.
\begin{example}
For demonstration, then assuming that your file contains the environments
\texttt{testnoindent}, \texttt{testnoindent*} then the listings given in
\cref{lst:nameAsRegex5,lst:nameAsRegex6} are equivalent.
\begin{widepage}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/nameAsRegex5.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{nameAsRegex5.yaml}}{lst:nameAsRegex5}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/nameAsRegex6.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{nameAsRegex6.yaml}}{lst:nameAsRegex6}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{widepage}
With reference to \cref{lst:nameAsRegex6}:
\begin{itemize}
\item the \texttt{name} field as specified here means \emph{any word followed by the
word noindent, optionally followed by *};
\item we have used \texttt{nameAsRegex} to identify this field, but you can use any
description you like;
\item the \texttt{lookForThis} field is optional, and can take the values 0 (off) or 1
(on); by default, it is assumed to be 1 (on).
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\subsection{filecontents and preamble}\label{subsec:filecontents:preamble}
\yamltitle{fileContentsEnvironments}*{field}
Before \texttt{latexindent.pl} determines the difference between preamble (if any) and
the main document, it first searches for any of the environments specified in
\texttt{fileContentsEnvironments}, see \cref{lst:fileContentsEnvironments}. The
behaviour of \texttt{latexindent.pl} on these environments is determined by their
location (preamble or not), and the value \texttt{indentPreamble}, discussed next.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=fileContentsEnvironments]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{fileContentsEnvironments}}{lst:fileContentsEnvironments}
\yamltitle{indentPreamble}{0|1}
The preamble of a document can sometimes contain some trickier code for
\texttt{latexindent.pl} to operate upon. By default, \texttt{latexindent.pl} won't try
to operate on the preamble (as \texttt{indentPreamble} is set to \texttt{0}, by
default), but if you'd like \texttt{latexindent.pl} to try then change
\texttt{indentPreamble} to \texttt{1}.
\yamltitle{lookForPreamble}*{fields}
Not all files contain preamble; for example, \texttt{sty}, \texttt{cls} and \texttt{bib}
files typically do \emph{not}. Referencing \cref{lst:lookForPreamble}, if you set, for
example, \texttt{.tex} to \texttt{0}, then regardless of the setting of the value of
\texttt{indentPreamble}, preamble will not be assumed when operating upon \texttt{.tex}
files.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lookForPreamble]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{lookForPreamble}{lst:lookForPreamble}
\yamltitle{preambleCommandsBeforeEnvironments}{0|1}
Assuming that \texttt{latexindent.pl} is asked to operate upon the preamble of a
document, when this switch is set to \texttt{0} then environment code blocks will be
sought first, and then command code blocks. When this switch is set to \texttt{1},
commands will be sought first. The example that first motivated this switch contained
the code given in \cref{lst:motivatepreambleCommandsBeforeEnvironments}.
\begin{cmhlistings}{Motivating \texttt{preambleCommandsBeforeEnvironments}}{lst:motivatepreambleCommandsBeforeEnvironments}
...
preheadhook={\begin{mdframed}[style=myframedstyle]},
postfoothook=\end{mdframed},
...
\end{cmhlistings}
\index{indentation!defaultIndent description}
\subsection{Indentation and horizontal space}\label{subsec:indentation:and:horizontal:space}
\yamltitle{defaultIndent}*{horizontal space}
This is the default indentation used in the absence of other details for the code block
with which we are working. The default value is \lstinline!\t! which means a tab; we
will explore customisation beyond \texttt{defaultIndent} in
\vref{sec:noadd-indent-rules}.
If you're interested in experimenting with \texttt{latexindent.pl} then you can
\emph{remove} all indentation by setting \texttt{defaultIndent: ""}.
\yamltitle{removeTrailingWhitespace}*{fields}\label{yaml:removeTrailingWhitespace}
Trailing white space can be removed both \emph{before} and \emph{after} processing the
document, as detailed in \cref{lst:removeTrailingWhitespace}; each of the fields can
take the values \texttt{0} or \texttt{1}. See
\vref{lst:removeTWS-before,lst:env-mlb5-modAll,lst:env-mlb5-modAll-remove-WS} for before
and after results. Thanks to \cite{vosskuhle} for providing this feature.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=removeTrailingWhitespace]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{removeTrailingWhitespace}{lst:removeTrailingWhitespace}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/remove-tws-alt.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{removeTrailingWhitespace (alt)}{lst:removeTrailingWhitespace-alt}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
You can specify \texttt{removeTrailingWhitespace} simply as \texttt{0} or \texttt{1}, if
you wish; in this case, \announce{2017-06-28}{removeTrailingWhitespace}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will set both \texttt{beforeProcessing} and
\texttt{afterProcessing} to the value you specify; see
\cref{lst:removeTrailingWhitespace-alt}.%
\subsection{Aligning at delimiters}\label{subsec:align-at-delimiters}
\yamltitle{lookForAlignDelims}*{fields}
This contains a list of code blocks that are operated upon in a special way by
\texttt{latexindent.pl} (see \cref{lst:aligndelims:basic}). In fact, the fields in
\texttt{lookForAlignDelims} can actually take two different forms: the \emph{basic}
version is shown in \cref{lst:aligndelims:basic} and the \emph{advanced} version in
\cref{lst:aligndelims:advanced}; we will discuss each in turn.
\index{delimiters!advanced settings of lookForAlignDelims}
\begin{yaml}[numbers=none]{\texttt{lookForAlignDelims} (basic)}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering]{lst:aligndelims:basic}
lookForAlignDelims:
tabular: 1
tabularx: 1
longtable: 1
array: 1
matrix: 1
...
\end{yaml}
Specifying code blocks in this field instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to try and align
each column by its alignment delimiters. It does have some limitations (discussed
further in \cref{sec:knownlimitations}), but in many cases it will produce results such
as those in \cref{lst:tabularbefore:basic,lst:tabularafter:basic}; running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabular1.tex
\end{commandshell}
gives the output given in \cref{lst:tabularafter:basic}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabular1.tex}{\texttt{tabular1.tex}}{lst:tabularbefore:basic}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabular1-default.tex}{\texttt{tabular1.tex} default output}{lst:tabularafter:basic}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
If you find that \texttt{latexindent.pl} does not perform satisfactorily on such
environments then you can set the relevant key to \texttt{0}, for example
\texttt{tabular: 0}; alternatively, if you just want to ignore \emph{specific} instances
of the environment, you could wrap them in something from \texttt{noIndentBlock} (see
\vref{lst:noIndentBlock}).
If, for example, you wish to remove the alignment of the \lstinline!\\! within a
delimiter-aligned block, then the advanced form of \texttt{lookForAlignDelims} shown in
\cref{lst:aligndelims:advanced} is for you. \index{regular expressions!delimiterRegEx}
\index{regular expressions!ampersand alignment} \index{delimiters!default settings of
lookForAlignDelims} \index{delimiters!ampersand \&} \index{delimiters!advanced settings}
\index{delimiters!lookForAlignDelims}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lookForAlignDelims]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{lookForAlignDelims} (advanced)}{lst:aligndelims:advanced}
Note that you can use a mixture of the basic and advanced form: in
\cref{lst:aligndelims:advanced} \texttt{tabular} and \texttt{tabularx} are advanced and
\texttt{longtable} is basic. When using the advanced form, each field should receive at
least 1 sub-field, and \emph{can} (but does not have to) receive any of the following
fields:
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{delims}: binary switch (0 or 1) equivalent to simply specifying, for
example, \texttt{tabular: 1} in the basic version shown in \cref{lst:aligndelims:basic}.
If \texttt{delims} is set to \texttt{0} then the align at ampersand routine will not be
called for this code block (default: 1);
\item \texttt{alignDoubleBackSlash}: binary switch (0 or 1) to determine if
\lstinline!\\!
should be aligned (default: 1);
\item \texttt{spacesBeforeDoubleBackSlash}: optionally,%
\announce{2018-01-13}*{update to spacesBeforeDoubleBackSlash in ampersand alignment}
specifies the number (integer $\geq$ 0) of spaces to be inserted before
\lstinline!\\! (default: 1); %\footnote{Previously this only activated if \texttt{alignDoubleBackSlash} was set to \texttt{0}.}
\item \announce{2017-06-19}{multiColumnGrouping} \texttt{multiColumnGrouping}: binary
switch (0 or 1) that details if \texttt{latexindent.pl} should group columns
above and below a \lstinline!\multicolumn! command (default: 0);
\item \announce{2017-06-19}{alignRowsWithoutMaxDelims}
\texttt{alignRowsWithoutMaxDelims}: binary switch (0 or 1) that details if rows
that do not contain the maximum number of delimiters should be formatted so as to
have the ampersands aligned (default: 1);
\item \announce{2018-01-13}{spacesBeforeAmpersand in ampersand
alignment}\texttt{spacesBeforeAmpersand}: optionally specifies the number
(integer $\geq$ 0) of spaces to be placed \emph{before} ampersands (default: 1);
\item \announce{2018-01-13}{spacesAfterAmpersand in ampersand
alignment}\texttt{spacesAfterAmpersand}: optionally specifies the number (integer
$\geq$ 0) of spaces to be placed \emph{After} ampersands (default: 1);
\item \announce{2018-01-13}{justification of cells in ampersand
alignment}\texttt{justification}: optionally specifies the justification of each
cell as either \emph{left} or \emph{right} (default: left);
\item \announce{2020-03-21}{align final double backslash}{alignFinalDoubleBackSlash}
optionally specifies if the \emph{final} double backslash should be used for
alignment (default: 0);
\item \announce{2020-03-21}{don't measure feature}{dontMeasure} optionally specifies if
user-specified cells, rows or the largest entries should \emph{not} be measured
(default: 0);
\item \announce{2020-03-21}{delimiter RegEx feature}{delimiterRegEx} optionally
specifies the pattern matching to be used for the alignment delimiter (default:
\lstinline* '(?!.
We employ the settings given in \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx1} and run the command
\index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabbing.tex -l=delimiterRegEx1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
to receive the output given in \cref{lst:tabbing-mod1}. \index{regular
expressions!delimiter regex at \textbackslash= or \textbackslash>}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabbing-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tabbing.tex} using \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx1}}{lst:tabbing-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/delimiterRegEx1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{delimiterRegEx1.yaml}}{lst:delimiterRegEx1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that:
\begin{itemize}
\item in \cref{lst:tabbing-mod1} the code has been aligned, as intended, at both the
\lstinline!\=! and \lstinline!\>!;
\item in \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx1} we have heeded the warning and captured the
expression using grouping parenthesis, specified a backslash using \lstinline!\\!
and said that it must be followed by either \lstinline!=! or \lstinline!>!.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We can explore \texttt{delimiterRegEx} a little further using the settings in
\cref{lst:delimiterRegEx2} and run the command \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabbing.tex -l=delimiterRegEx2.yaml
\end{commandshell}
to receive the output given in \cref{lst:tabbing-mod2}. \index{regular

\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabbing-mod2.tex}{\texttt{tabbing.tex} using \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx2}}{lst:tabbing-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/delimiterRegEx2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{delimiterRegEx2.yaml}}{lst:delimiterRegEx2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that only the \lstinline!\>! have been aligned.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
Of course, the other lookForAlignDelims options can be used alongside the
\texttt{delimiterRegEx}; regardless of the type of delimiter being used (ampersand or
anything else), the fields from \vref{lst:aligndelims:advanced} remain the same; for
example, using the settings in \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx3}, and running
\index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabbing.tex -l=delimiterRegEx3.yaml
\end{commandshell}
to receive the output given in \cref{lst:tabbing-mod3}.

\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
It is possible that delimiters specified within \texttt{delimiterRegEx} can be of
different lengths. Consider the file in \cref{lst:tabbing1}, and associated YAML in
\cref{lst:delimiterRegEx4}. Note that the \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx4} specifies the
option for the delimiter to be either \lstinline!#! or \lstinline!\>!, \emph{which are
different lengths}. Upon running the command \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\index{switches!-o demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabbing1.tex -l=delimiterRegEx4.yaml -o=+-mod4
\end{commandshell}
we receive the output in \cref{lst:tabbing1-mod4}. \index{regular expressions!delimiter
regex at \#}

\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/delimiterRegEx4.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{delimiterRegEx4.yaml}}{lst:delimiterRegEx4}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
You can set the \emph{delimiter} justification as either \texttt{left} (default) or
\texttt{right}, which will only have effect when delimiters in the same column have
different lengths. Using the settings in \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx5} and running the
command \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-o demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabbing1.tex -l=delimiterRegEx5.yaml -o=+-mod5
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tabbing1-mod5}. \index{regular expressions!delimiter regex

\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/delimiterRegEx5.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{delimiterRegEx5.yaml}}{lst:delimiterRegEx5}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Note that in \cref{lst:tabbing1-mod5} the second set of delimiters have been \emph{right
aligned} -- it is quite subtle!
\end{example}
\subsubsection{lookForAlignDelims: lookForChildCodeBlocks}\label{sec:lookForChildCodeBlocks}
There \announce{2021-12-13}{lookForChildCodeBlocks demonstration} may be scenarios in
which you would prefer to instruct \texttt{latexindent.pl} \emph{not} to search for
child blocks; in which case setting \texttt{lookForChildCodeBlocks} to 0 may be a good
way to proceed.
\begin{example}
Using the settings from \vref{lst:dontMeasure1} on the file in \cref{lst:tabular-DM-1}
and running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabular-DM-1.tex -l=dontMeasure1.yaml -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tabular-DM-1-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabular-DM-1.tex}{\texttt{tabular-DM-1.tex}}{lst:tabular-DM-1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabular-DM-1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tabular-DM-1-mod1.tex}}{lst:tabular-DM-1-mod1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We can improve the output from \cref{lst:tabular-DM-1-mod1} by employing the settings in
\cref{lst:dontMeasure1a}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabular-DM-1.tex -l=dontMeasure1a.yaml -o=+-mod1a
\end{commandshell}
which gives the output in \cref{lst:dontMeasure1a}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabular-DM-1-mod1a.tex}{\texttt{tabular-DM-1-mod1a.tex}}{lst:tabular-DM-1-mod1a}

\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\subsubsection{lookForAlignDelims: alignContentAfterDoubleBackSlash}\label{sec:alignContentAfterDoubleBackSlash}
You can instruct \texttt{latexindent} to align \announce{2023-05-01}{align content after
double back slash} content after the double back slash. See also \vref{subsec:dbs}.
\begin{example}
We consider the file in \cref{lst:tabular5}, and the default output given in
\cref{lst:tabular5-default}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabular5.tex}{\texttt{tabular5.tex}}{lst:tabular5}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabular5-default.tex}{\texttt{tabular5-default.tex}}{lst:tabular5-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Using the settings given in \cref{lst:alignContentAfterDBS1} and running
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -s tabular5.tex -l alignContentAfterDBS1 -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tabular5-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=2,
raster left skip=-2.5cm,
raster column skip=.03\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabular5-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tabular5-mod1.tex}}{lst:tabular5-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/alignContentAfterDBS1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{alignContentAfterDBS1.yaml}}{lst:alignContentAfterDBS1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
When using the \texttt{alignContentAfterDoubleBackSlash} feature, then you can also
specify how many spaces to insert after the double backslash; the default is 1.
\announce{2023-05-01}{specify number of spaces after double back slash when aligning
content after double back slash}
Starting from \cref{lst:tabular5} and using the the settings given in
\cref{lst:alignContentAfterDBS2}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -s tabular5.tex -l alignContentAfterDBS2 -o=+-mod2
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tabular5-mod2}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=2,
raster left skip=-2.5cm,

\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tabular5-mod2.tex}{\texttt{tabular5-mod2.tex}}{lst:tabular5-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/alignContentAfterDBS2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{alignContentAfterDBS2.yaml}}{lst:alignContentAfterDBS2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\subsection{Indent after items, specials and headings}
\yamltitle{indentAfterItems}*{fields}
The environment names specified in \texttt{indentAfterItems} tell
\texttt{latexindent.pl} to look for \lstinline!\item! commands; if these switches are
set to \texttt{1} then indentation will be performed so as indent the code after each
\texttt{item}. A demonstration is given in \cref{lst:itemsbefore,lst:itemsafter}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=3,
raster left skip=-3.5cm,
raster right skip=-2cm,
raster column skip=.03\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=indentAfterItems]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{indentAfterItems}}{lst:indentafteritems}

\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/items1-default.tex}{\texttt{items1.tex} default output}{lst:itemsafter}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\yamltitle{itemNames}*{fields}
If you have your own \texttt{item} commands (perhaps you prefer to use \texttt{myitem},
for example) then you can put populate them in \texttt{itemNames}. For example, users of
the \texttt{exam} document class might like to add \texttt{parts} to
\texttt{indentAfterItems} and \texttt{part} to \texttt{itemNames} to their user settings
(see \vref{sec:indentconfig} for details of how to configure user settings, and
\vref{lst:mysettings} \\ in particular \label{page:examsettings}.)
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=itemNames]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{itemNames}}{lst:itemNames}
\yamltitle{specialBeginEnd}*{fields}\label{yaml:specialBeginEnd}
The fields specified \index{specialBeginEnd!introduction}
\announce{2017-08-21}*{specialBeginEnd} in \texttt{specialBeginEnd} are, in their
default state, focused on math mode begin and end statements, but there is no
requirement for this to be the case; \cref{lst:specialBeginEnd} shows the default
settings of \texttt{specialBeginEnd}. \index{specialBeginEnd!default settings}%
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=specialBeginEnd]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{specialBeginEnd}}{lst:specialBeginEnd}
The field \texttt{displayMath} represents \lstinline!\[...\]!, \texttt{inlineMath}
represents \lstinline!$...$! and \texttt{displayMathTex} represents \lstinline!$$...$$!.
You can, of course, rename these in your own YAML files (see \vref{sec:localsettings});
indeed, you might like to set up your own special begin and end statements.
\begin{example}
A demonstration of the before-and-after results are shown in
\cref{lst:specialbefore,lst:specialafter}; explicitly, running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl special1.tex -o=+-default
\end{commandshell}
gives the output given in \cref{lst:specialafter}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special1.tex}{\texttt{special1.tex} before}{lst:specialbefore}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special1-default.tex}{\texttt{special1.tex} default output}{lst:specialafter}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
For each field, \texttt{lookForThis} is set to \texttt{1} by default, which means that
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will look for this pattern; you can tell \texttt{latexindent.pl}
not to look for the pattern, by setting \texttt{lookForThis} to \texttt{0}.
There are \announce{2017-08-21}{specialBeforeCommand} examples in which it is
advantageous to search for \texttt{specialBeginEnd} fields \emph{before} searching for
commands, and the \texttt{specialBeforeCommand} switch controls this behaviour.
\begin{example}
For example, consider the file shown in \cref{lst:specialLRbefore}.%
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/specialLR.tex}{\texttt{specialLR.tex}}{lst:specialLRbefore}
Now consider the YAML files shown in
\cref{lst:specialsLeftRight-yaml,lst:specialBeforeCommand-yaml}
\index{specialBeginEnd!searching for special before commands}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[]{demonstrations/specialsLeftRight.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{specialsLeftRight.yaml}}{lst:specialsLeftRight-yaml}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[]{demonstrations/specialBeforeCommand.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{specialBeforeCommand.yaml}}{lst:specialBeforeCommand-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Upon running the following commands \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl specialLR.tex -l=specialsLeftRight.yaml
latexindent.pl specialLR.tex -l=specialsLeftRight.yaml,specialBeforeCommand.yaml
\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
we receive the respective outputs in
\cref{lst:specialLR-comm-first-tex,lst:specialLR-special-first-tex}.
\begin{minipage}{.49\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/specialLR-comm-first.tex}{\texttt{specialLR.tex} using \cref{lst:specialsLeftRight-yaml}}{lst:specialLR-comm-first-tex}
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.49\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/specialLR-special-first.tex}{\texttt{specialLR.tex} using \cref{lst:specialsLeftRight-yaml,lst:specialBeforeCommand-yaml}}{lst:specialLR-special-first-tex}
\end{minipage}
Notice that in:
\begin{itemize}
\item \cref{lst:specialLR-comm-first-tex} the \lstinline!\left! has been treated as a
\emph{command}, with one optional argument;
\item \cref{lst:specialLR-special-first-tex} the \texttt{specialBeginEnd} pattern in
\cref{lst:specialsLeftRight-yaml}
has been obeyed because \cref{lst:specialBeforeCommand-yaml} specifies that the
\texttt{specialBeginEnd} should be sought \emph{before} commands.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
You can, optionally, specify \announce{2018-04-27}{update to specialBeginEnd} the
\texttt{middle} field for anything that you specify in \texttt{specialBeginEnd}.
\begin{example}
For example, let's consider the \texttt{.tex} file in \cref{lst:special2}.
\index{specialBeginEnd!middle} \index{specialBeginEnd!IfElsFi example}%
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special2.tex}{\texttt{special2.tex}}{lst:special2}
Upon saving the YAML settings in \cref{lst:middle-yaml,lst:middle1-yaml} and running the
commands \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl special2.tex -l=middle
latexindent.pl special2.tex -l=middle1
\end{commandshell}
then we obtain the output given in \cref{lst:special2-mod1,lst:special2-mod2}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special2-mod1.tex}{\texttt{special2.tex} using \cref{lst:middle-yaml}}{lst:special2-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/middle.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{middle.yaml}}{lst:middle-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special2-mod2.tex}{\texttt{special2.tex} using \cref{lst:middle1-yaml}}{lst:special2-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/middle1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{middle1.yaml}}{lst:middle1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that:
\begin{itemize}
\item in \cref{lst:special2-mod1} the bodies of each of the \texttt{Elsif} statements
have been indented appropriately;
\item the \texttt{Else} statement has \emph{not} been indented appropriately in
\cref{lst:special2-mod1} -- read on!
\item we have specified multiple settings for the \texttt{middle} field using the
syntax demonstrated in \cref{lst:middle1-yaml} so that the body of the
\texttt{Else} statement has been indented appropriately in
\cref{lst:special2-mod2}.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
You may need these fields in your own YAML files (see \vref{sec:localsettings}), if you
use popular algorithm packages such as algorithms, algorithm2e or algpseudocode, etc.
\begin{example}
For example, let’s consider the \texttt{.tex} file in \cref{lst:specialAlgo}.
\index{specialBeginEnd!middle} \index{specialBeginEnd!Algorithms example}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[basicstyle=\tiny]{demonstrations/specialAlgo.tex}[enhanced jigsaw,breakable]{\texttt{specialAlgo.tex}}{lst:specialAlgo}
Upon saving the YAML settings in \cref{lst:algo-yaml} and running the command
\index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l=algo.yaml specialAlgo.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we obtain the output given in \cref{lst:specialAlgo-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[basicstyle=\tiny]{demonstrations/specialAlgo-mod1.tex}{\texttt{specialAlgo.tex} using \cref{lst:algo-yaml}}{lst:specialAlgo-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST,basicstyle=\tiny,commentstyle=\color{blue}\ttfamily\tiny]{demonstrations/algo.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{algo.yaml}}{lst:algo-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
You may \announce{2018-08-13}{specialBeginEnd verbatim} specify fields in
\texttt{specialBeginEnd} to be treated as verbatim code blocks by changing
\texttt{lookForThis} to be \texttt{verbatim}. \index{verbatim!specialBeginEnd}%
\begin{example}
For example, beginning with the code in \cref{lst:special3-mod1} and the YAML in
\cref{lst:special-verb1-yaml}, and running \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl special3.tex -l=special-verb1
\end{commandshell}
then the output in \cref{lst:special3-mod1} is unchanged.
\index{specialBeginEnd!specifying as verbatim}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special3-mod1.tex}{\texttt{special3.tex} and output using \cref{lst:special-verb1-yaml}}{lst:special3-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/special-verb1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{special-verb1.yaml}}{lst:special-verb1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
We can combine the \texttt{specialBeginEnd} with the \texttt{lookForAlignDelims}
feature.
\begin{example}
We begin with the code in \cref{lst:special-align}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special-align.tex}{\texttt{special-align.tex}}{lst:special-align}
Let's assume that our goal is to align the code at the \texttt{edge} and \texttt{node}
text; we employ the code given in \cref{lst:edge-node1} and run the command
\index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-o demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl special-align.tex -l edge-node1.yaml -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
to receive the output in \cref{lst:special-align-mod1}. \index{specialBeginEnd!combined
with lookForAlignDelims} \index{specialBeginEnd!delimiterRegEx}
\index{specialBeginEnd!alignment at delimiter} \index{specialBeginEnd!tikz example}
\index{regular expressions!delimiter alignment for edge or node}
\index{delimiters!within specialBeginEnd blocks} \index{regular expressions!numeric 0-9}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[ raster left skip=-3.5cm,]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special-align-mod1.tex}{\texttt{special-align.tex} using \cref{lst:edge-node1}}{lst:special-align-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/edge-node1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{edge-node1.yaml}}{lst:edge-node1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
The output in \cref{lst:special-align-mod1} is not quite ideal. We can tweak the
settings within \cref{lst:edge-node1} in order to improve the output; in particular, we
employ the code in \cref{lst:edge-node2} and run the command \index{switches!-l
demonstration} \index{switches!-o demonstration} \index{regular expressions!uppercase
alph A-Z}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl special-align.tex -l edge-node2.yaml -o=+-mod2
\end{commandshell}
to receive the output in \cref{lst:special-align-mod2}.
\index{specialBeginEnd!delimiterRegEx tweaked} \index{regular expressions!at least one
+} \index{regular expressions!horizontal space \textbackslash{h}}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[ raster left skip=-3.5cm,]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special-align-mod2.tex}{\texttt{special-align.tex} using \cref{lst:edge-node2}}{lst:special-align-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/edge-node2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{edge-node2.yaml}}{lst:edge-node2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
The \texttt{lookForThis} field can be considered optional;
\announce{2021-06-19}*{lookForThis optional for specialBeginEnd} by default, it is
assumed to be 1, which is demonstrated in \cref{lst:edge-node2}.%
Referencing \vref{lst:specialBeginEnd} we see that \announce{2023-09-23}{specialBeginEnd
body field} each of the \texttt{specialBeginEnd} fields can \emph{optionally} accept the
\texttt{body} field. If the \texttt{body} field is omitted, then \texttt{latexindent.pl}
uses a value that means
\begin{quote}
anything except one of the begin statements from \texttt{specialBeginEnd}.
\end{quote}
In general, it is usually \emph{not} necessary to specify the \texttt{body} field, but
let's detail an example just for reference.
\begin{example}
We begin with the example in \cref{lst:special-body}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special-body.tex}{\texttt{special-body.tex}}{lst:special-body}
Using the settings in \cref{lst:special-body1} and running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl special-body.tex -l=special-body1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:special-body-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[ raster left skip=-3.5cm,]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special-body-mod1.tex}{\texttt{special-body.tex} using \cref{lst:special-body1}}{lst:special-body-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/special-body1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{special-body1.yaml}}{lst:special-body1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that the output in \cref{lst:special-body-mod1} is as we would expect, even
\emph{without} the \texttt{body} field specified.
Another option (purely for reference) that leaves the output in
\cref{lst:special-body-mod1} unchanged is shown in \cref{lst:special-body2}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/special-body2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{special-body2.yaml}}{lst:special-body2}
The \texttt{body} field in \cref{lst:special-body2} means \emph{anything except ( or )}.
\end{example}
\yamltitle{indentAfterHeadings}*{fields}
This field enables the user to specify indentation rules that take effect after heading
commands such as \lstinline!\part!, \lstinline!\chapter!, \lstinline!\section!,
\lstinline!\subsection*!, or indeed any user-specified command written in this
field.\footnote{There is a slight difference in interface for this field when comparing
Version 2.2 to Version 3.0; see \vref{app:differences} for details.}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=indentAfterHeadings]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{indentAfterHeadings}}{lst:indentAfterHeadings}
The default settings do \emph{not} place indentation after a heading, but you can easily
switch them on by changing \texttt{indentAfterThisHeading} from 0 to 1. The
\texttt{level} field tells \texttt{latexindent.pl} the hierarchy of the heading
structure in your document. You might, for example, like to have both \texttt{section}
and \texttt{subsection} set with \texttt{level: 3} because you do not want the
indentation to go too deep.
You can add any of your own custom heading commands to this field, specifying the
\texttt{level} as appropriate. You can also specify your own indentation in
\texttt{indentRules} (see \vref{sec:noadd-indent-rules}); you will find the default
\texttt{indentRules} contains \lstinline!chapter: " "! which tells
\texttt{latexindent.pl} simply to use a space character after \texttt{chapter} headings
(once \texttt{indent} is set to \texttt{1} for \texttt{chapter}).
\begin{example}
For example, assuming that you have the code in \cref{lst:headings1yaml} saved into
\texttt{headings1.yaml}, and that you have the text from \cref{lst:headings1} saved into
\texttt{headings1.tex}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/headings1.tex}{\texttt{headings1.tex}}{lst:headings1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/headings1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{headings1.yaml}}{lst:headings1yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
If you run the command \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl headings1.tex -l=headings1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then you should receive the output given in \cref{lst:headings1-mod1}.
\begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showtabs=true]{demonstrations/headings1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{headings1.tex} using \cref{lst:headings1yaml}}{lst:headings1-mod1}

\cmhlistingsfromfile[showtabs=true]{demonstrations/headings1-mod2.tex}{\texttt{headings1.tex} second modification}{lst:headings1-mod2}
\end{minipage}
\end{example}
Now say that you modify the \texttt{YAML} from \cref{lst:headings1yaml} so that the
\texttt{paragraph} \texttt{level} is \texttt{1}; after running \index{switches!-l
demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl headings1.tex -l=headings1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
you should receive the code given in \cref{lst:headings1-mod2}; notice that the
\texttt{paragraph} and \texttt{subsection} are at the same indentation level.
\index{indentation!maximum indetation}
\yamltitle{maximumIndentation}*{horizontal space}
You can control the maximum indentation given to your file by
\announce{2017-08-21}{maximumIndentation} specifying the \texttt{maximumIndentation}
field as horizontal space (but \emph{not} including tabs). This feature uses the
\texttt{Text::Tabs} module \cite{texttabs}, and is \emph{off} by default.%
\begin{example}
For example, consider the example shown in \cref{lst:mult-nested} together with the
default output shown in \cref{lst:mult-nested-default}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]

\end{example}
\begin{example}
Now say that, for example, you have the \texttt{max-indentation1.yaml} from
\cref{lst:max-indentation1yaml} and that you run the following command:
\index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl mult-nested.tex -l=max-indentation1

You should receive the output shown in \cref{lst:mult-nested-max-ind1}.

Comparing the output in \cref{lst:mult-nested-default,lst:mult-nested-max-ind1} we
notice that the (default) tabs of indentation have been replaced by a single space.
In general, when using the \texttt{maximumIndentation} feature, any leading tabs will be
replaced by equivalent spaces except, of course, those found in
\texttt{verbatimEnvironments} (see \vref{lst:verbatimEnvironments}) or
\texttt{noIndentBlock} (see \vref{lst:noIndentBlock}).
\subsection{The code blocks known latexindent.pl}\label{subsubsec:code-blocks}

There are switches that can allow them to contain other strings, which we discuss next.
\yamltitle{commandCodeBlocks}*{fields}
The \texttt{commandCodeBlocks} field \announce{2018-04-27}*{commandCodeBlocks} contains
a few switches detailed in \cref{lst:commandCodeBlocks}.%
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=commandCodeBlocks]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=.8\linewidth,before=\centering,yaml-TCB]{\texttt{commandCodeBlocks}}{lst:commandCodeBlocks}
\yamltitle{roundParenthesesAllowed}{0|1}
\begin{example}
The need for this field was mostly motivated by commands found in code used to generate
images in \texttt{PSTricks} and \texttt{tikz}; for example, let's consider the code
given in \cref{lst:pstricks1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/pstricks1.tex}{\texttt{pstricks1.tex}}{lst:pstricks1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/pstricks1-default.tex}{\texttt{pstricks1} default output}{lst:pstricks1-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice that the \lstinline!\defFunction! command has an optional argument, followed by a
mandatory argument, followed by a round-parenthesis argument, $(u,v)$.
By default, because \texttt{roundParenthesesAllowed} is set to $1$ in
\cref{lst:commandCodeBlocks}, then \texttt{latexindent.pl} will allow round parenthesis
between optional and mandatory arguments. In the case of the code in
\cref{lst:pstricks1}, \texttt{latexindent.pl} finds \emph{all} the arguments of
\lstinline!defFunction!, both before and after \lstinline!(u,v)!.
The default output from running \texttt{latexindent.pl} on \cref{lst:pstricks1} actually
leaves it unchanged (see \cref{lst:pstricks1-default}); note in particular, this is
because of \texttt{noAdditionalIndentGlobal} as discussed on
\cpageref{page:command:noAddGlobal}.
Upon using the YAML settings in \cref{lst:noRoundParentheses}, and running the command
\index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl pstricks1.tex -l noRoundParentheses.yaml
\end{commandshell}
we obtain the output given in \cref{lst:pstricks1-nrp}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/pstricks1-nrp.tex}{\texttt{pstricks1.tex} using \cref{lst:noRoundParentheses}}{lst:pstricks1-nrp}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/noRoundParentheses.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{noRoundParentheses.yaml}}{lst:noRoundParentheses}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice the difference between \cref{lst:pstricks1-default} and \cref{lst:pstricks1-nrp};
in particular, in \cref{lst:pstricks1-nrp}, because round parentheses are \emph{not}
allowed, \texttt{latexindent.pl} finds that the \lstinline!\defFunction! command
finishes at the first opening round parenthesis. As such, the remaining braced,
mandatory, arguments are found to be \texttt{UnNamedGroupingBracesBrackets} (see
\vref{tab:code-blocks}) which, by default, assume indentation for their body, and hence
the tabbed indentation in \cref{lst:pstricks1-nrp}.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
Let's explore this using the YAML given in \cref{lst:defFunction} and run the command
\index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl pstricks1.tex -l defFunction.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then the output is as in \cref{lst:pstricks1-indent-rules}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/pstricks1-indent-rules.tex}{\texttt{pstricks1.tex} using \cref{lst:defFunction}}{lst:pstricks1-indent-rules}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/defFunction.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{defFunction.yaml}}{lst:defFunction}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice in \cref{lst:pstricks1-indent-rules} that the \emph{body} of the
\lstinline!defFunction! command i.e, the subsequent lines containing arguments after the
command name, have received the single space of indentation specified by
\cref{lst:defFunction}.
\end{example}
\yamltitle{stringsAllowedBetweenArguments}*{fields}
\begin{example}
\texttt{tikz} users may well specify code such as that given in
\cref{lst:tikz-node1}; processing this code using
\texttt{latexindent.pl} gives the default output in \cref{lst:tikz-node1-default}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tikz-node1.tex}{\texttt{tikz-node1.tex}}{lst:tikz-node1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tikz-node1-default.tex}{\texttt{tikz-node1} default output}{lst:tikz-node1-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
With reference to \vref{lst:commandCodeBlocks}, we see that the strings
\begin{quote}
to, node, ++
\end{quote}
are all allowed to appear between arguments; importantly, you are encouraged to add
further names to this field as necessary. This means that when \texttt{latexindent.pl}
processes \cref{lst:tikz-node1}, it consumes:
\begin{itemize}
\item the optional argument \lstinline![thin]!
\item the round-bracketed argument \lstinline!(c)! because
\texttt{roundParenthesesAllowed} is $1$ by default
\item the string \lstinline!to! (specified in \texttt{stringsAllowedBetweenArguments})
\item the optional argument \lstinline![in=110,out=-90]!
\item the string \lstinline!++! (specified in \texttt{stringsAllowedBetweenArguments})
\item the round-bracketed argument \lstinline!(0,-0.5cm)! because
\texttt{roundParenthesesAllowed} is $1$ by default
\item the string \lstinline!node! (specified in
\texttt{stringsAllowedBetweenArguments})
\item the optional argument \lstinline![below,align=left,scale=0.5]!
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We can explore this further, for example using \cref{lst:draw} and running the command
\index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tikz-node1.tex -l draw.yaml
\end{commandshell}
we receive the output given in \cref{lst:tikz-node1-draw}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/tikz-node1-draw.tex}{\texttt{tikz-node1.tex} using \cref{lst:draw}}{lst:tikz-node1-draw}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/draw.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{draw.yaml}}{lst:draw}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice that each line after the \lstinline!\draw! command (its `body') in
\cref{lst:tikz-node1-draw} has been given the appropriate two-spaces worth of
indentation specified in \cref{lst:draw}.
Let's compare this with the output from using the YAML settings in
\cref{lst:no-strings}, and running the command \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tikz-node1.tex -l no-strings.yaml
\end{commandshell}
given in \cref{lst:tikz-node1-no-strings}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tikz-node1-no-strings.tex}{\texttt{tikz-node1.tex} using \cref{lst:no-strings}}{lst:tikz-node1-no-strings}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/no-strings.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{no-strings.yaml}}{lst:no-strings}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
In this case, \texttt{latexindent.pl} sees that:
\begin{itemize}
\item the \lstinline!\draw! command finishes after the \lstinline!(c)!, as
\texttt{stringsAllowedBetweenArguments} has been set to $0$ so there are no
strings allowed between arguments;
\item it finds a \texttt{namedGroupingBracesBrackets} called \texttt{to} (see
\vref{tab:code-blocks}) \emph{with} argument \lstinline![in=110,out=-90]!
\item it finds another \texttt{namedGroupingBracesBrackets} but this time called
\texttt{node} with argument \lstinline![below,align=left,scale=0.5]!
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
Referencing \vref{lst:commandCodeBlocks}, \announce{2018-04-27}*{amalgamate feature in
commandCodeBlocks}, we see that the first field in the
\texttt{stringsAllowedBetweenArguments} is \texttt{amalgamate} and is set to \texttt{1}
by default. This is for users who wish to specify their settings in multiple YAML files.
For example, by using the settings in either \cref{lst:amalgamate-demo}
or\cref{lst:amalgamate-demo1} is equivalent to using the settings in
\cref{lst:amalgamate-demo2}.%
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=3,
raster left skip=-3.5cm,
raster right skip=-2cm,
raster column skip=.03\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/amalgamate-demo.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{amalgamate-demo.yaml}}{lst:amalgamate-demo}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/amalgamate-demo1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{amalgamate-demo1.yaml}}{lst:amalgamate-demo1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/amalgamate-demo2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{amalgamate-demo2.yaml}}{lst:amalgamate-demo2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We specify \texttt{amalgamate} to be set to \texttt{0} and in which case any settings
loaded prior to those specified, including the default, will be overwritten. For
example, using the settings in \cref{lst:amalgamate-demo3} means that only the strings
specified in that field will be used.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/amalgamate-demo3.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{amalgamate-demo3.yaml}}{lst:amalgamate-demo3}
It is important to note that the \texttt{amalgamate} field, if used, must be in the
first field, and specified using the syntax given in
\cref{lst:amalgamate-demo1,lst:amalgamate-demo2,lst:amalgamate-demo3}.
\begin{example}
We may explore this feature further with the code in \cref{lst:for-each}, whose default
output is given in \cref{lst:for-each-default}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/for-each.tex}{\texttt{for-each.tex}}{lst:for-each}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/for-each-default.tex}{\texttt{for-each} default output}{lst:for-each-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Let's compare this with the output from using the YAML settings in \cref{lst:foreach},
and running the command \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl for-each.tex -l foreach.yaml
\end{commandshell}
given in \cref{lst:for-each-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/for-each-mod1.tex}{\texttt{for-each.tex} using \cref{lst:foreach}}{lst:for-each-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/foreach.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{foreach.yaml}}{lst:foreach}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
You might like to compare the output given in \cref{lst:for-each-default} and
\cref{lst:for-each-mod1}. Note,in particular, in \cref{lst:for-each-default} that the
\texttt{foreach} command has not included any of the subsequent strings, and that the
braces have been treated as a \texttt{namedGroupingBracesBrackets}. In
\cref{lst:for-each-mod1} the \texttt{foreach} command has been allowed to have
\lstinline!\x/\y! and \texttt{in} between arguments because of the settings given in
\cref{lst:foreach}.
\end{example}
\yamltitle{commandNameSpecial}*{fields}
There are some special command names \announce{2018-04-27}*{commandNameSpecial} that do
not fit within the names recognised by \texttt{latexindent.pl}, the first one of which
is \lstinline!\@ifnextchar[!. From the perspective of \texttt{latexindent.pl}, the whole
of the text \lstinline!\@ifnextchar[! is a command, because it is immediately followed
by sets of mandatory arguments. However, without the \texttt{commandNameSpecial} field,
\texttt{latexindent.pl} would not be able to label it as such, because the \lstinline![!
is, necessarily, not matched by a closing \lstinline!]!.%
\begin{example}
For example, consider the sample file in \cref{lst:ifnextchar}, which has default output
in \cref{lst:ifnextchar-default}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/ifnextchar.tex}{\texttt{ifnextchar.tex}}{lst:ifnextchar}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/ifnextchar-default.tex}{\texttt{ifnextchar.tex} default output}{lst:ifnextchar-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice that in \cref{lst:ifnextchar-default} the \texttt{parbox} command has been able
to indent its body, because \texttt{latexindent.pl} has successfully found the command
\lstinline!\@ifnextchar! first; the pattern-matching of \texttt{latexindent.pl} starts
from \emph{the inner most and works outwards}, discussed in more detail on
\cpageref{page:phases}.
For demonstration, we can compare this output with that given in
\cref{lst:ifnextchar-off} in which the settings from \cref{lst:no-ifnextchar} have
dictated that no special command names, including the \lstinline!\@ifnextchar[! command,
should not be searched for specially; as such, the \texttt{parbox} command has been
\emph{unable} to indent its body successfully, because the \lstinline!\@ifnextchar[!
command has not been found.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/ifnextchar-off.tex}{\texttt{ifnextchar.tex} using \cref{lst:no-ifnextchar}}{lst:ifnextchar-off}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/no-ifnextchar.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{no-ifnextchar.yaml}}{lst:no-ifnextchar}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
The \texttt{amalgamate} field can be used for \texttt{commandNameSpecial}, just as for
\texttt{stringsAllowedBetweenArguments}. The same condition holds as stated previously,
which we state again here: \index{warning!amalgamate field}
\begin{warning}
It is important to note that the \texttt{amalgamate} field, if used, in either
\texttt{commandNameSpecial} or \texttt{stringsAllowedBetweenArguments} must be in the
first field, and specified using the syntax given in
\cref{lst:amalgamate-demo1,lst:amalgamate-demo2,lst:amalgamate-demo3}.

\fancyhead[R]{\bfseries\thepage%

All features described in this section will only be relevant if the \texttt{-m} switch is
used.

\yamltitle{modifylinebreaks}*{fields}
\makebox[0pt][r]{%
\raisebox{-\totalheight}[0pt][0pt]{%
\tikz\node[opacity=1] at (0,0)
{\includegraphics[width=4cm]{logo}};}}%
As of Version 3.0, \texttt{latexindent.pl} has the \texttt{-m} switch, which permits
\texttt{latexindent.pl} to modify line breaks, according to the specifications in the
\texttt{modifyLineBreaks} field. \emph{The settings in this field will only be considered
if the \texttt{-m} switch has been used}. A snippet of the default settings of this field
is shown in \cref{lst:modifylinebreaks}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=modifylinebreaks]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.85\linewidth,before=\centering]{\texttt{modifyLineBreaks}}{lst:modifylinebreaks}
Having read the previous paragraph, it should sound reasonable that, if you call
\texttt{latexindent.pl} using the \texttt{-m} switch, then you give it permission to
modify line breaks in your file, but let's be clear: \index{warning!the m switch}
\begin{warning}
If you call \texttt{latexindent.pl} with the \texttt{-m} switch, then you are giving it
permission to modify line breaks. By default, the only thing that will happen is that
multiple blank lines will be condensed into one blank line; many other settings are
possible, discussed next.
\end{warning}
\yamltitle{preserveBlankLines}{0|1}
This field is directly related to \emph{poly-switches}, discussed in
\cref{sec:poly-switches}. By default, it is set to \texttt{1}, which means that blank
lines will be \emph{protected} from removal; however, regardless of this setting,
multiple blank lines can be condensed if \texttt{condenseMultipleBlankLinesInto} is
greater than \texttt{0}, discussed next.
\yamltitle{condenseMultipleBlankLinesInto}*{positive integer}
Assuming that this switch takes an integer value greater than \texttt{0},
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will condense multiple blank lines into the number of blank
lines illustrated by this switch.
\begin{example}
As an example, \cref{lst:mlb-bl} shows a sample file with blank lines; upon running
\index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -m -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
the output is shown in \cref{lst:mlb-bl-out}; note that the multiple blank lines have
been condensed into one blank line, and note also that we have used the \texttt{-m}
switch!

\subsection{Text Wrapping}\label{subsec:textwrapping}
\announce{2022-03-13}{text wrap overhaul}\emph{The text wrapping routine has been over-hauled as
of V3.16; I hope that the interface is simpler, and most importantly, the results are
better}.
The complete settings for this feature are given in \cref{lst:textWrapOptionsAll}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=textWrapOptionsAll]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.95\linewidth,before=\centering]{\texttt{textWrapOptions}}{lst:textWrapOptionsAll}
\subsubsection{Text wrap: overview}
An overview of how the text wrapping feature works:
\begin{enumerate}
\item the default value of \texttt{columns} is 0, which means that text wrapping will
\emph{not} happen by default;
\item it happens \emph{after} verbatim blocks have been found;
\item it happens \emph{after} the oneSentencePerLine routine (see
\cref{sec:onesentenceperline});
\item it can happen \emph{before} or \emph{after} \announce{2023-01-01}{text wrap:
before/after} all of the other code blocks are found and does \emph{not} operate
on a per-code-block basis; when using \texttt{before} this means that, including
indentation, you may receive a column width wider than that which you specify in
\texttt{columns}, and in which case you probably wish to explore \texttt{after}
in \cref{subsubsec:tw:before:after};
\item code blocks to be text wrapped will:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \emph{follow} the fields specified in \texttt{blocksFollow}
\item \emph{begin} with the fields specified in \texttt{blocksBeginWith}
\item \emph{end} before the fields specified in \texttt{blocksEndBefore}
\end{enumerate}
\item setting \texttt{columns} to a value $>0$ will text wrap blocks by first removing
line breaks, and then wrapping according to the specified value of
\texttt{columns};
\item setting \texttt{columns} to $-1$ will \emph{only} remove line breaks within the
text wrap block;
\item by default, the text wrapping routine will remove line breaks within text blocks
because \texttt{removeBlockLineBreaks} is set to 1; switch it to 0 if you wish to
change this;
\item about trailing comments within text wrap blocks:
\begin{enumerate}
\item trailing comments that do \emph{not} have leading space instruct the text
wrap routine to connect the lines \emph{without} space (see
\cref{lst:tw-tc2});
\item multiple trailing comments will be connected at the end of the text wrap
block (see \cref{lst:tw-tc4});
\item the number of spaces between the end of the text wrap block and the
(possibly combined) trailing comments is determined by the spaces (if any)
at the end of the text wrap block (see \cref{lst:tw-tc5});
\end{enumerate}
\item trailing comments can receive text wrapping \announce{2023-01-01}{text wrap
trailing comments}; examples are shown in \cref{subsubsec:tw:comments} and
\cref{subsubsec:ospl:tw:comments}.
\end{enumerate}
We demonstrate this feature using a series of examples.
\subsubsection{Text wrap: simple examples}\label{subsec:textwrapping-quick-start}
\begin{example}
Let's use the sample text given in \cref{lst:textwrap1}. \index{text wrap!quick start}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/textwrap1.tex}{\texttt{textwrap1.tex}}{lst:textwrap1}
We will change the value of \texttt{columns} in \cref{lst:textwrap1-yaml} and then run
the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml textwrap1.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output given in \cref{lst:textwrap1-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/textwrap1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{textwrap1-mod1.tex}}{lst:textwrap1-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/textwrap1.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{textwrap1.yaml}}{lst:textwrap1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
If we set \texttt{columns} to $-1$ then \texttt{latexindent.pl} remove line breaks
within the text wrap block, and will \emph{not} perform text wrapping. We can use this
to undo text wrapping. \index{text wrap!setting columns to -1}
Starting from the file in \cref{lst:textwrap1-mod1} and using the settings in
\cref{lst:textwrap1A-yaml}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/textwrap1A.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{textwrap1A.yaml}}{lst:textwrap1A-yaml}
and running
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1A.yaml textwrap1-mod1.tex
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:textwrap1-mod1A}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/textwrap1-mod1A.tex}{\texttt{textwrap1-mod1A.tex}}{lst:textwrap1-mod1A}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
By default, the text wrapping routine will convert multiple spaces into single spaces.
You can change this behaviour by flicking the switch \texttt{multipleSpacesToSingle}
which we have done in \cref{lst:textwrap1B-yaml}
Using the settings in \cref{lst:textwrap1B-yaml} and running
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1B.yaml textwrap1-mod1.tex
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:textwrap1-mod1B}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/textwrap1-mod1B.tex}{\texttt{textwrap1-mod1B.tex}}{lst:textwrap1-mod1B}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/textwrap1B.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{textwrap1B.yaml}}{lst:textwrap1B-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that in \cref{lst:textwrap1-mod1B} the multiple spaces have \emph{not} been
condensed into single spaces.
\end{example}
\subsubsection{Text wrap: \texttt{blocksFollow} examples}
We examine the \texttt{blocksFollow} field of \cref{lst:textWrapOptionsAll}. \index{text
wrap!blocksFollow}
\begin{example}
Let's use the sample text given in \cref{lst:tw-headings1}. \index{text
wrap!blocksFollow!headings}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-headings1.tex}{\texttt{tw-headings1.tex}}{lst:tw-headings1}
We note that \cref{lst:tw-headings1} contains the heading commands \texttt{section} and
\texttt{subsection}. Upon running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml tw-headings1.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output given in \cref{lst:tw-headings1-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-headings1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-headings1-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-headings1-mod1}
We reference \vref{lst:textWrapOptionsAll} and also \vref{lst:indentAfterHeadings}:
\begin{itemize}
\item in \cref{lst:textWrapOptionsAll} the \texttt{headings} field is set to
\texttt{1}, which instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to read the fields from
\vref{lst:indentAfterHeadings}, \emph{regardless of the value of
indentAfterThisHeading or level};
\item the default is to assume that the heading command can, optionally, be followed by
a \texttt{label} command.
\end{itemize}
If you find scenarios in which the default value of \texttt{headings} does not work,
then you can explore the \texttt{other} field.
We can turn off \texttt{headings} as in \cref{lst:bf-no-headings-yaml} and then run
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml,bf-no-headings.yaml tw-headings1.tex
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-headings1-mod2}, in which text wrapping has been
instructed \emph{not to happen} following headings.

\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
Let's use the sample text given in \cref{lst:tw-comments1}. \index{text
wrap!blocksFollow!comments}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-comments1.tex}{\texttt{tw-comments1.tex}}{lst:tw-comments1}
We note that \cref{lst:tw-comments1} contains trailing comments. Upon running the
command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml tw-comments1.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output given in \cref{lst:tw-comments1-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-comments1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-comments1-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-comments1-mod1}
With reference to \vref{lst:textWrapOptionsAll} the \texttt{commentOnPreviousLine} field
is set to \texttt{1}, which instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to find text wrap blocks
after a comment on its own line.
We can turn off \texttt{comments} as in \cref{lst:bf-no-comments-yaml} and then run
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml,bf-no-comments.yaml tw-comments1.tex
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-comments1-mod2}, in which text wrapping has been
instructed \emph{not to happen} following comments on their own line.

\end{example}
Referencing \vref{lst:textWrapOptionsAll} the \texttt{blocksFollow} fields \texttt{par},
\texttt{blankline}, \texttt{verbatim} and \texttt{filecontents} fields operate in
analogous ways to those demonstrated in the above.
The \texttt{other} field of the \texttt{blocksFollow} can either be \texttt{0} (turned
off) or set as a regular expression. The default value is set to
\lstinline!\\\]|\\item(?:\h|\[)! which can be translated to \emph{backslash followed by
a square bracket} or \emph{backslash item followed by horizontal space or a square
bracket}, or in other words, \emph{end of display math} or an item command.
\begin{example}
Let's use the sample text given in \cref{lst:tw-disp-math1}. \index{text
wrap!blocksFollow!other} \index{regular expressions!text wrap!blocksFollow}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-disp-math1.tex}{\texttt{tw-disp-math1.tex}}{lst:tw-disp-math1}
We note that \cref{lst:tw-disp-math1} contains display math. Upon running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml tw-disp-math1.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output given in \cref{lst:tw-disp-math1-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-disp-math1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-disp-math1-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-disp-math1-mod1}
With reference to \vref{lst:textWrapOptionsAll} the \texttt{other} field is set to
\lstinline!\\\]!, which instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to find text wrap blocks after
the end of display math.
We can turn off this switch as in \cref{lst:bf-no-disp-math-yaml} and then run
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml,bf-no-disp-math.yaml tw-disp-math1.tex
\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-disp-math1-mod2}, in which text wrapping has been
instructed \emph{not to happen} following display math.

\end{cmhtcbraster}
Naturally, you should feel encouraged to customise this as you see fit.
\end{example}
The \texttt{blocksFollow} field \emph{deliberately} does not default to allowing text
wrapping to occur after \texttt{begin environment} statements. You are encouraged to
customize the \texttt{other} field to accommodate the environments that you would like
to text wrap individually, as in the next example.
\begin{example}
Let's use the sample text given in \cref{lst:tw-bf-myenv1}. \index{text
wrap!blocksFollow!other} \index{regular expressions!text wrap!blocksFollow}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-bf-myenv1.tex}{\texttt{tw-bf-myenv1.tex}}{lst:tw-bf-myenv1}
We note that \cref{lst:tw-bf-myenv1} contains \texttt{myenv} environment. Upon running
the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml tw-bf-myenv1.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output given in \cref{lst:tw-bf-myenv1-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-bf-myenv1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-bf-myenv1-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-bf-myenv1-mod1}
We note that we have \emph{not} received much text wrapping. We can turn do better by
employing \cref{lst:tw-bf-myenv-yaml} and then run
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml,tw-bf-myenv.yaml tw-bf-myenv1.tex
\end{commandshell}
which gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-bf-myenv1-mod2}, in which text wrapping has been

\subsubsection{Text wrap: \texttt{blocksBeginWith} examples}
We examine the \texttt{blocksBeginWith} field of \cref{lst:textWrapOptionsAll} with a
series of examples. \index{text wrap!blocksBeginWith}
\begin{example}
By default, text wrap blocks can begin with the characters \texttt{a-z} and
\texttt{A-Z}.
If we start with the file given in \cref{lst:tw-0-9}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-0-9.tex}{\texttt{tw-0-9.tex}}{lst:tw-0-9}
and run the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml tw-0-9.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output given in \cref{lst:tw-0-9-mod1} in which text wrapping has
\emph{not} occurred.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-0-9-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-0-9-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-0-9-mod1}
We can allow paragraphs to begin with \texttt{0-9} characters by using the settings in
\cref{lst:bb-0-9-yaml} and running
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml,bb-0-9-yaml tw-0-9.tex
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-0-9-mod2}, in which text wrapping \emph{has} happened.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth,]

\begin{example}
Let's now use the file given in \cref{lst:tw-bb-announce1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-bb-announce1.tex}{\texttt{tw-bb-announce1.tex}}{lst:tw-bb-announce1}
and run the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml tw-bb-announce1.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output given in \cref{lst:tw-bb-announce1-mod1} in which text
wrapping has \emph{not} occurred.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-bb-announce1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-bb-announce1-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-bb-announce1-mod1}
We can allow \lstinline!\announce! to be at the beginning of paragraphs by using the
settings in \cref{lst:tw-bb-announce-yaml} and running
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1.yaml,tw-bb-announce.yaml tw-bb-announce1.tex

\subsubsection{Text wrap: \texttt{blocksEndBefore} examples}
We examine the \texttt{blocksEndBefore} field of \cref{lst:textWrapOptionsAll} with a
series of examples. \index{text wrap!blocksEndBefore}
\begin{example}
Let's use the sample text given in \cref{lst:tw-be-equation}. \index{text
wrap!blocksFollow!other} \index{regular expressions!text wrap!blocksFollow}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-be-equation.tex}{\texttt{tw-be-equation.tex}}{lst:tw-be-equation}
We note that \cref{lst:tw-be-equation} contains an environment. Upon running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1A.yaml tw-be-equation.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output given in \cref{lst:tw-be-equation-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-be-equation-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-be-equation-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-be-equation-mod1}
With reference to \vref{lst:textWrapOptionsAll} the \texttt{other} field is set to
\lstinline!\\begin\{|\\\[|\\end\{!, which instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to
\emph{stop} text wrap blocks before \texttt{begin} statements, display math, and
\texttt{end} statements.
We can turn off this switch as in \cref{lst:tw-be-equation-yaml} and then run
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l textwrap1A.yaml,tw-be-equation.yaml tw-be-equation.tex
\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-be-equation-mod2}, in which text wrapping has been
instructed \emph{not} to stop at these statements.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/tw-be-equation.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{tw-be-equation.yaml}}{lst:tw-be-equation-yaml}
\begin{widepage}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-be-equation-mod2.tex}{\texttt{tw-be-equation-mod2.tex}}{lst:tw-be-equation-mod2}
\end{widepage}
Naturally, you should feel encouraged to customise this as you see fit.
\end{example}
\subsubsection{Text wrap: trailing comments and spaces}
We explore the behaviour of the text wrap routine in relation to trailing comments using
the following examples.
\begin{example}
The file in \cref{lst:tw-tc1} contains a trailing comment which \emph{does} have a space
infront of it.
Running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m tw-tc1.tex -l textwrap1A.yaml -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
gives the output given in \cref{lst:tw-tc1-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/tw-tc1.tex}{\texttt{tw-tc1.tex}}{lst:tw-tc1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-tc1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-tc1-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-tc1-mod1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
The file in \cref{lst:tw-tc2} contains a trailing comment which does \emph{not} have a
space infront of it.
Running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m tw-tc2.tex -l textwrap1A.yaml -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-tc2-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-tc2.tex}{\texttt{tw-tc2.tex}}{lst:tw-tc2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-tc2-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-tc2-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-tc2-mod1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that, because there is \emph{not} a space before the trailing comment, that the
lines have been joined \emph{without} a space.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
The file in \cref{lst:tw-tc3} contains multiple trailing comments.
Running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m tw-tc3.tex -l textwrap1A.yaml -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-tc3-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/tw-tc3.tex}{\texttt{tw-tc3.tex}}{lst:tw-tc3}

\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
The file in \cref{lst:tw-tc4} contains multiple trailing comments.
Running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m tw-tc4.tex -l textwrap1A.yaml -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-tc4-mod1}.

\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
The file in \cref{lst:tw-tc5} contains multiple trailing comments.
Running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m tw-tc5.tex -l textwrap1A.yaml -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-tc5-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/tw-tc5.tex}{\texttt{tw-tc5.tex}}{lst:tw-tc5}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/tw-tc5-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-tc5-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-tc5-mod1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
The space at the end of the text block has been preserved.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
The file in \cref{lst:tw-tc6} contains multiple trailing comments.
Running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m tw-tc6.tex -l textwrap1A.yaml -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tw-tc6-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/tw-tc6.tex}{\texttt{tw-tc6.tex}}{lst:tw-tc6}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/tw-tc6-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tw-tc6-mod1.tex}}{lst:tw-tc6-mod1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
The space at the end of the text block has been preserved.
\end{example}
\subsubsection{Text wrap: when before/after}\label{subsubsec:tw:before:after}
The text wrapping routine operates, by default, \texttt{before} the
\announce{2023-01-01}{text wrap: before/after details} code blocks have been found, but
this can be changed to \texttt{after}:
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{before} means it is likely that the columns of wrapped text may \emph{exceed} the
value specified in \texttt{columns};
\item \texttt{after} means it columns of wrapped text should \emph{not} exceed the value
specified in \texttt{columns}.
\end{itemize}
We demonstrate this in the following examples. See also
\cref{subsubsec:ospl:before:after}.
\begin{example}
Let's begin with the file in \cref{lst:textwrap8}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/textwrap8.tex}{\texttt{textwrap8.tex}}{lst:textwrap8}
Using the settings given in \cref{lst:tw-before1} and running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl textwrap8.tex -o=+-mod1.tex -l=tw-before1.yaml -m
\end{commandshell}
gives the output given in \cref{lst:textwrap8-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=2,
raster left skip=-1.5cm,
raster right skip=-0cm,
raster column skip=.06\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/textwrap8-mod1.tex}{\texttt{textwrap8-mod1.tex}}{lst:textwrap8-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/tw-before1.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=0.4\linewidth]{\texttt{tw-before1.yaml}}{lst:tw-before1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that, in \cref{lst:textwrap8-mod1}, that the wrapped text has \emph{exceeded}
the specified value of \texttt{columns} (35) given in \cref{lst:tw-before1}. We can
affect this by changing \texttt{when}; we explore this next.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We continue working with \cref{lst:textwrap8}.
Using the settings given in \cref{lst:tw-after1} and running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl textwrap8.tex -o=+-mod2.tex -l=tw-after1.yaml -m
\end{commandshell}
gives the output given in \cref{lst:textwrap8-mod2}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=2,

\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that, in \cref{lst:textwrap8-mod2}, that the wrapped text has \emph{obeyed} the
specified value of \texttt{columns} (35) given in \cref{lst:tw-after1}.
\end{example}
\subsubsection{Text wrap: wrapping comments}\label{subsubsec:tw:comments}
You can instruct \texttt{latexindent.pl} to apply text wrapping to comments
\announce{2023-01-01}{text wrap trailing comments}; we demonstrate this with examples,
see also \cref{subsubsec:ospl:tw:comments}. \index{comments!text wrap} \index{text
wrap!comments}
\begin{example}
We use the file in \cref{lst:textwrap9} which contains a trailing comment block.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/textwrap9.tex}{\texttt{textwrap9.tex}}{lst:textwrap9}
Using the settings given in \cref{lst:wrap-comments1} and running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl textwrap9.tex -o=+-mod1.tex -l=wrap-comments1.yaml -m
\end{commandshell}
gives the output given in \cref{lst:textwrap9-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=2,

\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that, in \cref{lst:textwrap9-mod1}, that the comments have been \emph{combined
and wrapped} because of the annotated line specified in \cref{lst:wrap-comments1}.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We use the file in \cref{lst:textwrap10} which contains a trailing comment block.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/textwrap10.tex}{\texttt{textwrap10.tex}}{lst:textwrap10}
Using the settings given in \cref{lst:wrap-comments1:repeat} and running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl textwrap10.tex -o=+-mod1.tex -l=wrap-comments1.yaml -m
\end{commandshell}
gives the output given in \cref{lst:textwrap10-mod1}.

\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that, in \cref{lst:textwrap10-mod1}, that the comments have been \emph{combined
and wrapped} because of the annotated line specified in
\cref{lst:wrap-comments1:repeat}, and that the space from the leading comment has not
been inherited; we will explore this further in the next example.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We continue to use the file in \cref{lst:textwrap10}.
Using the settings given in \cref{lst:wrap-comments2} and running the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl textwrap10.tex -o=+-mod2.tex -l=wrap-comments2.yaml -m

We note that, in \cref{lst:textwrap10-mod2}, that the comments have been \emph{combined
and wrapped} and that the leading space has been inherited because of the annotated
lines specified in \cref{lst:wrap-comments2}.
\end{example}
\subsubsection{Text wrap: huge, tabstop and separator}
The \announce{2021-07-23}*{huge:overflow is now default} default value of \texttt{huge}
is \texttt{overflow}, which means that words will \emph{not} be broken by the text
wrapping routine, implemented by the \texttt{Text::Wrap} \cite{textwrap}. There are
options to change the \texttt{huge} option for the \texttt{Text::Wrap} module to either
\texttt{wrap} or \texttt{die}. Before modifying the value of \texttt{huge}, please bear
in mind the following warning: \index{warning!changing huge (textwrap)}%
\begin{warning}
\raggedright
Changing the value of \texttt{huge} to anything other than \texttt{overflow} will slow
down \texttt{latexindent.pl} significantly when the \texttt{-m} switch is active.
Furthermore, changing \texttt{huge} means that you may have some words \emph{or
commands}(!) split across lines in your .tex file, which may affect your output. I do
not recommend changing this field.
\end{warning}
\begin{example}
For example, using the settings in \cref{lst:textwrap2A-yaml,lst:textwrap2B-yaml} and
running the commands \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\index{switches!-o demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}

You can also specify the \texttt{tabstop} field \announce{2020-11-06}{tabstop option for
text wrap module} as an integer value, which is passed to the text wrap module; see
\cite{textwrap} for details.
\begin{example}
Starting with the code in \cref{lst:textwrap-ts} with settings in \cref{lst:tabstop},
and running the command \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m
demonstration} \index{switches!-o demonstration}%
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m textwrap-ts.tex -o=+-mod1 -l tabstop.yaml
\end{commandshell}
gives the code given in \cref{lst:textwrap-ts-mod1}.

You can specify \texttt{separator}, \texttt{break} and \texttt{unexpand} options in your
settings in analogous ways to those demonstrated in
\cref{lst:textwrap2B-yaml,lst:tabstop}, and they will be passed to the
\texttt{Text::Wrap} module. I have not found a useful reason to do this; see
\cite{textwrap} for more details.

\subsection{oneSentencePerLine: modifying line breaks for sentences}\label{sec:onesentenceperline}
You can instruct \texttt{latexindent.pl} to format \announce{2018-01-13}{one sentence
per line} your file so that it puts one sentence per line. Thank you to \cite{mlep} for
helping to shape and test this feature. The behaviour of this part of the script is
controlled by the switches detailed in \cref{lst:oneSentencePerLine}, all of which we
discuss next. \index{modifying linebreaks! by using one sentence per line}

\subsubsection{oneSentencePerLine: overview}
An overview of how the oneSentencePerLine routine feature works:
\begin{enumerate}
\item the default value of \texttt{manipulateSentences} is 0, which means that
oneSentencePerLine will \emph{not} happen by default;
\item it happens \emph{after} verbatim blocks have been found;
\item it happens \emph{before} the text wrapping routine (see
\cref{subsec:textwrapping});
\item it happens \emph{before} the main code blocks have been found;
\item sentences to be found:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \emph{follow} the fields specified in \texttt{sentencesFollow}
\item \emph{begin} with the fields specified in \texttt{sentencesBeginWith}
\item \emph{end} with the fields specified in \texttt{sentencesEndWith}
\end{enumerate}
\item by default, the oneSentencePerLine routine will remove line breaks within
sentences because \texttt{removeBlockLineBreaks} is set to 1; switch it to 0 if
you wish to change this;
\item sentences can be text wrapped according to \texttt{textWrapSentences}, and will
be done either \texttt{before} or \texttt{after} the main indentation routine
(see \cref{subsubsec:ospl:before:after});
\item about trailing comments within text wrap blocks:
\begin{enumerate}
\item multiple trailing comments will be connected at the end of the sentence;
\item the number of spaces between the end of the sentence and the (possibly
combined) trailing comments is determined by the spaces (if any) at the
end of the sentence.
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
We demonstrate this feature using a series of examples.
\yamltitle{manipulateSentences}{0|1}
This is a binary switch that details if \texttt{latexindent.pl} should perform the
sentence manipulation routine; it is \emph{off} (set to \texttt{0}) by default, and you
will need to turn it on (by setting it to \texttt{1}) if you want the script to modify
line breaks surrounding and within sentences.
\yamltitle{removeSentenceLineBreaks}{0|1}
When operating upon sentences \texttt{latexindent.pl} will, by default, remove internal
line breaks as \texttt{removeSentenceLineBreaks} is set to \texttt{1}. Setting this
switch to \texttt{0} instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} not to do so.
\index{sentences!removing sentence line breaks}
\begin{example}
For example, consider \texttt{multiple-sentences.tex} shown in
\cref{lst:multiple-sentences}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences.tex}}{lst:multiple-sentences}
If we use the YAML files in
\cref{lst:manipulate-sentences-yaml,lst:keep-sen-line-breaks-yaml}, and run the commands
\index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences -m -l=manipulate-sentences.yaml
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences -m -l=keep-sen-line-breaks.yaml
\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
then we obtain the respective output given in
\cref{lst:multiple-sentences-mod1,lst:multiple-sentences-mod2}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences-mod1.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences.tex} using \cref{lst:manipulate-sentences-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/manipulate-sentences.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{manipulate-sentences.yaml}}{lst:manipulate-sentences-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences-mod2.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences.tex} using \cref{lst:keep-sen-line-breaks-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/keep-sen-line-breaks.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{keep-sen-line-breaks.yaml}}{lst:keep-sen-line-breaks-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice, in particular, that the `internal' sentence line breaks in
\cref{lst:multiple-sentences} have been removed in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences-mod1},
but have not been removed in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences-mod2}.
\end{example}
\yamltitle{multipleSpacesToSingle}{0|1}
\announce{2022-03-25}*{multipleSpacesToSingle for oneSentencePerLine} By default, the
one-sentence-per-line routine will convert multiple spaces into single spaces. You can
change this behaviour by changing the switch \texttt{multipleSpacesToSingle} to a value
of \texttt{0}.
The remainder of the settings displayed in \vref{lst:oneSentencePerLine} instruct
\texttt{latexindent.pl} on how to define a sentence. From the perspective of
\texttt{latexindent.pl} a sentence must: \index{sentences!follow} \index{sentences!begin
with} \index{sentences!end with}
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{follow} a certain character or set of characters (see
\cref{lst:sentencesFollow}); by default, this is either \lstinline!\par!, a
blank line, a full stop/period (.), exclamation mark (!), question mark (?) right brace
(\}) or a comment on the previous line;
\item \emph{begin} with a character type (see \cref{lst:sentencesBeginWith}); by
default, this is only capital letters;
\item \emph{end} with a character (see \cref{lst:sentencesEndWith}); by
default, these are full stop/period (.), exclamation mark (!) and question mark (?).
\end{itemize}
In each case, you can specify the \texttt{other} field to include any pattern that you
would like; you can specify anything in this field using the language of regular
expressions. \index{regular expressions!lowercase alph a-z} \index{regular
expressions!uppercase alph A-Z}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=2,
raster left skip=-3.5cm,

\end{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=sentencesEndWith]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.9\linewidth,before=\centering]{\texttt{sentencesEndWith}}{lst:sentencesEndWith}
\subsubsection{oneSentencePerLine: sentencesFollow}
Let's explore a few of the switches in \texttt{sentencesFollow}.
\begin{example}
We start with \vref{lst:multiple-sentences}, and use the YAML settings given in
\cref{lst:sentences-follow1-yaml}. Using the command \index{sentences!follow}
\index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences -m -l=sentences-follow1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
we obtain the output given in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences-mod3}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences-mod3.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences.tex} using \cref{lst:sentences-follow1-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences-mod3}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/sentences-follow1.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{sentences-follow1.yaml}}{lst:sentences-follow1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice that, because \texttt{blankLine} is set to \texttt{0}, \texttt{latexindent.pl}
will not seek sentences following a blank line, and so the fourth sentence has not been
accounted for.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We can explore the \texttt{other} field in \cref{lst:sentencesFollow} with the
\texttt{.tex} file detailed in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences1.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences1.tex}}{lst:multiple-sentences1}
Upon running the following commands \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m
demonstration}
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences1 -m -l=manipulate-sentences.yaml
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences1 -m -l=manipulate-sentences.yaml,sentences-follow2.yaml
\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
then we obtain the respective output given in
\cref{lst:multiple-sentences1-mod1,lst:multiple-sentences1-mod2}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences1.tex} using \vref{lst:manipulate-sentences-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences1-mod1}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[
raster force size=false,
raster column 1/.style={add to width=1cm},
]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences1-mod2.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences1.tex} using \cref{lst:sentences-follow2-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences1-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/sentences-follow2.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.45\textwidth]{\texttt{sentences-follow2.yaml}}{lst:sentences-follow2-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice that in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences1-mod1} the first sentence after the
\texttt{)} has not been accounted for, but that following the inclusion of
\cref{lst:sentences-follow2-yaml}, the output given in
\cref{lst:multiple-sentences1-mod2} demonstrates that the sentence \emph{has} been
accounted for correctly.
\end{example}
\subsubsection{oneSentencePerLine: sentencesBeginWith}
By default, \texttt{latexindent.pl} will only assume that sentences begin with the upper
case letters \texttt{A-Z}; you can instruct the script to define sentences to begin with
lower case letters (see \cref{lst:sentencesBeginWith}), and we can use the
\texttt{other} field to define sentences to begin with other characters.
\index{sentences!begin with}
\begin{example}
We use the file in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences2}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences2.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences2.tex}}{lst:multiple-sentences2}
Upon running the following commands \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m
demonstration}
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences2 -m -l=manipulate-sentences.yaml
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences2 -m -l=manipulate-sentences.yaml,sentences-begin1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
then we obtain the respective output given in
\cref{lst:multiple-sentences2-mod1,lst:multiple-sentences2-mod2}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences2-mod1.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences2.tex} using \vref{lst:manipulate-sentences-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences2-mod1}
\index{regular expressions!numeric 0-9}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[
raster force size=false,
raster column 1/.style={add to width=1cm},
]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences2-mod2.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences2.tex} using \cref{lst:sentences-begin1-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences2-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/sentences-begin1.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.45\textwidth]{\texttt{sentences-begin1.yaml}}{lst:sentences-begin1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice that in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences2-mod1}, the first sentence has been
accounted for but that the subsequent sentences have not. In
\cref{lst:multiple-sentences2-mod2}, all of the sentences have been accounted for,
because the \texttt{other} field in \cref{lst:sentences-begin1-yaml} has defined
sentences to begin with either \lstinline!$! or any numeric digit, \texttt{0} to
\texttt{9}.
\end{example}
\subsubsection{oneSentencePerLine: sentencesEndWith}
\begin{example}
Let's return to \vref{lst:multiple-sentences}; we have already seen the default way in
which \texttt{latexindent.pl} will operate on the sentences in this file in
\vref{lst:multiple-sentences-mod1}. We can populate the \texttt{other} field with any
character that we wish; for example, using the YAML specified in
\cref{lst:sentences-end1-yaml} and the command \index{sentences!end with}
\index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences -m -l=sentences-end1.yaml
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences -m -l=sentences-end2.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we obtain the output in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences-mod4}. \index{regular
expressions!lowercase alph a-z}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences-mod4.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences.tex} using \cref{lst:sentences-end1-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences-mod4}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/sentences-end1.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{sentences-end1.yaml}}{lst:sentences-end1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences-mod5.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences.tex} using \cref{lst:sentences-end2-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences-mod5}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/sentences-end2.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{sentences-end2.yaml}}{lst:sentences-end2-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
There is a subtle difference between the output in
\cref{lst:multiple-sentences-mod4,lst:multiple-sentences-mod5}; in particular, in
\cref{lst:multiple-sentences-mod4} the word \texttt{sentence} has not been defined as a
sentence, because we have not instructed \texttt{latexindent.pl} to begin sentences with
lower case letters. We have changed this by using the settings in
\cref{lst:sentences-end2-yaml}, and the associated output in
\cref{lst:multiple-sentences-mod5} reflects this.
\end{example}
Referencing \vref{lst:sentencesEndWith}, you'll notice that there is a field called
\texttt{basicFullStop}, which is set to \texttt{0}, and that the \texttt{betterFullStop}
is set to \texttt{1} by default.
\begin{example}
Let's consider the file shown in \cref{lst:url}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/url.tex}{\texttt{url.tex}}{lst:url}
Upon running the following commands \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m
demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl url -m -l=manipulate-sentences.yaml
\end{commandshell}
we obtain the output given in \cref{lst:url-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/url-mod1.tex}{\texttt{url.tex} using \vref{lst:manipulate-sentences-yaml}}{lst:url-mod1}
Notice that the full stop within the url has been interpreted correctly. This is
because, within the \texttt{betterFullStop}, full stops at the end of sentences have the
following properties:
\begin{itemize}
\item they are ignored within \texttt{e.g.} and \texttt{i.e.};
\item they can not be immediately followed by a lower case or upper case letter;
\item they can not be immediately followed by a hyphen, comma, or number.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
If you find that the \texttt{betterFullStop} does not work for your purposes, then you
can switch it off by setting it to \texttt{0}, and you can experiment with the
\texttt{other} field. \announce{2019-07-13}{fine tuning the betterFullStop} You can also
seek to customise the \texttt{betterFullStop} routine by using the \emph{fine tuning},
detailed in \vref{lst:fineTuning}.%
The \texttt{basicFullStop} routine should probably be avoided in most situations, as it
does not accommodate the specifications above.
\begin{example}
For example, using the following command \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl url -m -l=alt-full-stop1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
and the YAML in \cref{lst:alt-full-stop1-yaml} gives the output in \cref{lst:url-mod2}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[ raster left skip=-3.5cm,
raster right skip=-2cm,
raster force size=false,
raster column 1/.style={add to width=.1\textwidth},
raster column skip=.06\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/url-mod2.tex}{\texttt{url.tex} using \cref{lst:alt-full-stop1-yaml}}{lst:url-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/alt-full-stop1.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.5\textwidth]{\texttt{alt-full-stop1.yaml}}{lst:alt-full-stop1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice that the full stop within the URL has not been accommodated correctly because of
the non-default settings in \cref{lst:alt-full-stop1-yaml}.
\end{example}
\subsubsection{oneSentencePerLine: sentencesDoNOTcontain}
You can specify patterns that sentences do \emph{not} contain using the field
\announce{2023-09-09}{oneSentencePerLine: sentencesDoNOTcontain} in
\cref{lst:sentencesDoNOTcontain}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=sentencesDoNOTcontain]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.9\linewidth,before=\centering]{\texttt{sentencesDoNOTcontain}}{lst:sentencesDoNOTcontain}
If sentences run across environments then, by default, they will \emph{not} be
considered a sentence by \texttt{latexindent.pl}. \announce{2023-09-09}*{updated example
of oneSentencePerLine}
\begin{example}
For example, if we use the \texttt{.tex} file in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences4}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences4.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences4.tex}}{lst:multiple-sentences4}
and run the command \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences4 -m -l=manipulate-sentences.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then the output is unchanged, because the default value of
\texttt{sentencesDoNOTcontain} says, \emph{sentences do NOT contain}
This means that, by default, \texttt{latexindent.pl} does \emph{not} consider the file
in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences4} to have a sentence. \lstinline!\\begin!
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We can customise the \texttt{sentencesDoNOTcontain} field with anything that we do
\emph{not} want sentences to contain.
We begin with the file in \cref{lst:sentence-dnc1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/sentence-dnc1.tex}{\texttt{sentence-dnc1.tex}}{lst:sentence-dnc1}
Upon running the following commands
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl sentence-dnc1.tex -m -l=dnc1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we obtain the output given in \cref{lst:sentence-dnc1-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[ raster left skip=-2.5cm,
raster right skip=-1cm,
raster force size=false,
raster column 1/.style={add to width=3cm},

\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/dnc1.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.45\textwidth]{\texttt{dnc1.yaml}}{lst:dnc1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
The settings in \cref{lst:dnc1-yaml} say that sentences do \emph{not} contain
\lstinline!\begin! and that they do not contain \lstinline!\cmh!
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We can implement case insensitivity for the \texttt{sentencesDoNOTcontain} field.
We begin with the file in \cref{lst:sentence-dnc2}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/sentence-dnc2.tex}{\texttt{sentence-dnc2.tex}}{lst:sentence-dnc2}
Upon running the following commands
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl sentence-dnc2.tex -m -l=dnc2.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we obtain the output given in \cref{lst:sentence-dnc2-mod2}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[ raster left skip=-2.5cm,
raster right skip=-1cm,
raster force size=false,
raster column 1/.style={add to width=3cm},

\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/dnc2.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.45\textwidth]{\texttt{dnc2.yaml}}{lst:dnc2-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
The settings in \cref{lst:dnc2-yaml} say that sentences do \emph{not} contain
\lstinline!\begin! and that they do not contain \emph{case insensitive} versions of
\lstinline!\cmh!
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We can turn off \texttt{sentenceDoNOTcontain} by setting it to \texttt{0} as in
\cref{lst:dnc-off-yaml}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/dnc-off.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.45\textwidth]{\texttt{dnc-off.yaml}}{lst:dnc-off-yaml}
The settings in \cref{lst:dnc-off-yaml} mean that sentences can contain any character.
\end{example}
\subsubsection{Features of the oneSentencePerLine routine}
The sentence manipulation routine takes place \emph{after} verbatim \index{verbatim!in
relation to oneSentencePerLine} environments, preamble and trailing comments have been
accounted for; this means that any characters within these types of code blocks will not
be part of the sentence manipulation routine.
\begin{example}
For example, if we begin with the \texttt{.tex} file in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences3},
and run the command \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences3 -m -l=manipulate-sentences.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we obtain the output in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences3-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences3.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences3.tex}}{lst:multiple-sentences3}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences3-mod1.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences3.tex} using \vref{lst:manipulate-sentences-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences3-mod1}
\end{example}
\subsubsection{oneSentencePerLine: text wrapping and indenting sentences}
The \texttt{oneSentencePerLine} \announce{2018-08-13}{oneSentencePerline text wrap and
indent} can be instructed to perform text wrapping and indentation upon sentences.
\index{sentences!text wrapping} \index{sentences!indenting}%
\begin{example}
Let's use the code in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences5}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences5.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences5.tex}}{lst:multiple-sentences5}
Referencing \cref{lst:sentence-wrap1-yaml}, and running the following command
\index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences5 -m -l=sentence-wrap1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
we receive the output given in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences5-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[ raster left skip=-3.5cm,
raster right skip=-2cm,
raster force size=false,
raster column 1/.style={add to width=.1\textwidth},
raster column skip=.06\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences5-mod1.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences5.tex} using \cref{lst:sentence-wrap1-yaml}}{lst:multiple-sentences5-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/sentence-wrap1.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=0.5\textwidth]{\texttt{sentence-wrap1.yaml}}{lst:sentence-wrap1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
If you specify \texttt{textWrapSentences} as 1, but do \emph{not} specify a value for
\texttt{columns} then the text wrapping will \emph{not} operate on sentences, and you
will see a warning in \texttt{indent.log}.
\begin{example}
The indentation of sentences requires that sentences are stored as code blocks. This
means that you may need to tweak \vref{lst:sentencesEndWith}. Let's explore this in
relation to \cref{lst:multiple-sentences6}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences6.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences6.tex}}{lst:multiple-sentences6}
By default, \texttt{latexindent.pl} will find the full-stop within the first
\texttt{item}, which means that, upon running the following commands \index{switches!-l
demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration} \index{switches!-y demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl multiple-sentences6 -m -l=sentence-wrap1.yaml

We note that \cref{lst:multiple-sentences6-mod1} the \texttt{itemize} code block has
\emph{not} been indented appropriately. This is because the oneSentencePerLine has been
instructed to store sentences (because \cref{lst:sentence-wrap1-yaml}); each sentence is
then searched for code blocks.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We can tweak the settings in \vref{lst:sentencesEndWith} to ensure that full stops are
not followed by \texttt{item} commands, and that the end of sentences contains
\lstinline!\end{itemize}! as in \cref{lst:itemize-yaml}. This setting is actually an
appended version of the \texttt{betterFullStop} from the \texttt{fineTuning}, detailed
in \vref{lst:fineTuning}. \index{regular expressions!lowercase alph a-z} \index{regular

Text \announce{2022-04-04}*{oneSentencePerLine text wrapping update} wrapping when using
the \texttt{oneSentencePerLine} routine determines if it will remove line breaks while
text wrapping, from the value of \texttt{removeSentenceLineBreaks}.
\subsubsection{oneSentencePerLine: text wrapping and indenting sentences, when before/after}\label{subsubsec:ospl:before:after}
The text wrapping routine operates, by default, \texttt{before} the
\announce{2023-01-01}{text wrap: before/after details} code blocks have been found, but
this can be changed to \texttt{after}:
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{before} means it is likely that the columns of wrapped text may \emph{exceed} the
value specified in \texttt{columns};
\item \texttt{after} means it columns of wrapped text should \emph{not} exceed the value
specified in \texttt{columns}.
\end{itemize}
We demonstrate this in the following examples. See also
\cref{subsubsec:tw:before:after}.
\begin{example}
Let's begin with the file in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences8}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/multiple-sentences8.tex}{\texttt{multiple-sentences8.tex}}{lst:multiple-sentences8}

We note that, in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences8-mod1}, that the wrapped text has
\emph{exceeded} the specified value of \texttt{columns} (35) given in
\cref{lst:sentence-wrap2}. We can affect this by changing \texttt{when}; we explore this
next.
\end{example}

We note that, in \cref{lst:multiple-sentences8-mod2}, that the wrapped text has
\emph{obeyed} the specified value of \texttt{columns} (35) given in

\end{example}
\subsubsection{oneSentencePerLine: text wrapping sentences and comments}\label{subsubsec:ospl:tw:comments}

\subsection{Poly-switches}\label{sec:poly-switches}
Every other field in the \texttt{modifyLineBreaks} field uses poly-switches, and can take
one of the following%
\announce{2017-08-21}*{blank line poly-switch} integer values:
\index{modifying linebreaks! using poly-switches}
\index{poly-switches!definition}
\index{poly-switches!values}
\index{poly-switches!off by default: set to 0}
\begin{description}
\item[$-1$] \emph{remove mode}: line breaks before or after the
\emph{} can be removed (assuming that \texttt{preserveBlankLines} is
set to \texttt{0});
\item[0] \emph{off mode}: line breaks will not be modified for the
\emph{} under consideration;
\item[1] \emph{add mode}: a line break will be added before or after the
\emph{} under consideration, assuming that
there is not already a line break before or after the \emph{};
\item[2] \emph{comment then add mode}: a comment symbol will be added, followed by a line break
before or after the \emph{} under consideration, assuming that there is
not already a comment and line break before or after the \emph{};
\item[3] \emph{add then blank line mode}%
\announce{2017-08-21}{blank line poly-switch}: a line break will be added before or after
the \emph{} under consideration, assuming that there is not already a line
break before or after the \emph{}, followed by a blank line;
\item[4] \emph{add blank line mode}%
\announce{2019-07-13}{blank line poly-switch}; a blank line will
be added before or after the \emph{} under consideration, even if the
\emph{} is already on its own line.
\end{description}
In the above, \emph{} refers to either the \emph{begin statement},
\emph{body} or \emph{end statement} of the code blocks detailed in
\vref{tab:code-blocks}. All poly-switches are \emph{off} by default;
\texttt{latexindent.pl} searches first of all for per-name settings, and then followed
by global per-thing settings.
\subsubsection{Poly-switches for environments}\label{sec:modifylinebreaks-environments}
We start by viewing a snippet of \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml} in
\cref{lst:environments-mlb}; note that it contains \emph{global} settings (immediately
after the \texttt{environments} field) and that \emph{per-name} settings are also
allowed -- in the case of \cref{lst:environments-mlb}, settings for \texttt{equation*}
have been specified for demonstration. Note that all poly-switches are \emph{off} (set
to 0) by default. \index{poly-switches!default values} \index{poly-switches!environment

Let's begin with the simple example given in \cref{lst:env-mlb1-tex}; note that we have
annotated key parts of the file using $\BeginStartsOnOwnLine$, $\BodyStartsOnOwnLine$,
$\EndStartsOnOwnLine$ and $\EndFinishesWithLineBreak$, these will be related to fields
specified in \cref{lst:environments-mlb}. \index{poly-switches!visualisation:

\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/env-mlb1-end-f4.tex}{\texttt{env-mlb1.tex} using \cref{lst:env-end-f4}}{lst:env-mlb1-end-f4}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note in particular that, by design, for this value of the poly-switches:
\begin{enumerate}
\item in \cref{lst:env-mlb1-end4} a blank line has been inserted before the
\lstinline!\end! statement, even though the \lstinline!\end! statement was
already on its own line;
\item in \cref{lst:env-mlb1-end-f4} a blank line has been inserted after the
\lstinline!\end! statement, even though it already began on its own line.
\end{enumerate}
\end{example}
\paragraph{poly-switches 1, 2, and 3 only add line breaks when necessary}
If you ask \texttt{latexindent.pl} to add a line break (possibly with a comment) using
a poly-switch value of $1$ (or $2$ or $3$), it will only do so if necessary.
\begin{example}
For example, if you process the file in \vref{lst:mlb2} using poly-switch values of 1,
2, or 3, it will be left unchanged.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/env-mlb2.tex}{\texttt{env-mlb2.tex}}{lst:mlb2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/env-mlb3.tex}{\texttt{env-mlb3.tex}}{lst:mlb3}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
Setting the poly-switches to a value of $4$ instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to add a
line break even if the \emph{} is already on its own line; see
\cref{lst:env-mlb1-beg4,lst:env-mlb1-body4} and
\cref{lst:env-mlb1-end4,lst:env-mlb1-end-f4}.
\begin{example}
In contrast, the output from processing the file in \cref{lst:mlb3} will vary depending
on the poly-switches used; in \cref{lst:env-mlb3-mod2} you'll see that the comment
symbol after the \lstinline!\begin{myenv}! has been moved to the next line, as
\texttt{BodyStartsOnOwnLine} is set to \texttt{1}. In \cref{lst:env-mlb3-mod4} you'll
see that the comment has been accounted for correctly because
\texttt{BodyStartsOnOwnLine} has been set to \texttt{2}, and the comment symbol has
\emph{not} been moved to its own line. You're encouraged to experiment with
\cref{lst:mlb3} and by setting the other poly-switches considered so far to \texttt{2}
in turn.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]

\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
The details of the discussion in this section have concerned \emph{global}
poly-switches in the \texttt{environments} field; each switch can also be specified on
a \emph{per-name} basis, which would take priority over the global values; with
reference to \vref{lst:environments-mlb}, an example is shown for the
\texttt{equation*} environment.
\paragraph{Removing line breaks (poly-switches set to $-1$)}
Setting poly-switches to $-1$ tells \texttt{latexindent.pl} to remove line breaks of
the \emph{}, if necessary.
\begin{example}
We will consider the example code given in \cref{lst:mlb4}, noting in particular the
positions of the line break highlighters, $\BeginStartsOnOwnLine$,
$\BodyStartsOnOwnLine$, $\EndStartsOnOwnLine$ and $\EndFinishesWithLineBreak$, together
with the associated YAML files in \crefrange{lst:env-mlb13}{lst:env-mlb16}.

\end{cmhtcbraster}
Notice that in:
\begin{itemize}
\item \cref{lst:env-mlb4-mod13} the line break denoted by $\BeginStartsOnOwnLine$ in
\cref{lst:mlb4} has been removed;
\item \cref{lst:env-mlb4-mod14} the line break denoted by $\BodyStartsOnOwnLine$ in
\cref{lst:mlb4} has been removed;
\item \cref{lst:env-mlb4-mod15} the line break denoted by $\EndStartsOnOwnLine$ in
\cref{lst:mlb4} has been removed;
\item \cref{lst:env-mlb4-mod16} the line break denoted by $\EndFinishesWithLineBreak$ in
\cref{lst:mlb4} has been removed.
\end{itemize}
We examined each of these cases separately for clarity of explanation, but you can
combine all of the YAML settings in \crefrange{lst:env-mlb13}{lst:env-mlb16} into one
file; alternatively, you could tell \texttt{latexindent.pl} to load them all by using
the following command, for example \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m
demonstration}
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m env-mlb4.tex -l env-mlb13.yaml,env-mlb14.yaml,env-mlb15.yaml,env-mlb16.yaml
\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
which gives the output in \vref{lst:env-mlb1-tex}.
\end{example}
\paragraph{About trailing horizontal space}
Recall that on \cpageref{yaml:removeTrailingWhitespace} we discussed the YAML field
\texttt{removeTrailingWhitespace}, and that it has two (binary) switches to determine
if horizontal space should be removed \texttt{beforeProcessing} and
\texttt{afterProcessing}. The \texttt{beforeProcessing} is particularly relevant when
considering the \texttt{-m} switch.
\begin{example}
We consider the file shown in \cref{lst:mlb5}, which highlights trailing spaces.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\begin{cmhlistings}[style=tcblatex,showspaces=true,escapeinside={(*@}{@*)}]{\texttt{env-mlb5.tex}}{lst:mlb5}

\begin{commandshell}

\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
is shown, respectively, in \cref{lst:env-mlb5-modAll,lst:env-mlb5-modAll-remove-WS};
note that the trailing horizontal white space has been preserved (by default) in
\cref{lst:env-mlb5-modAll}, while in \cref{lst:env-mlb5-modAll-remove-WS}, it has been
removed using the switch specified in \cref{lst:removeTWS-before}.
\begin{widepage}

\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
we receive the respective outputs in
\cref{lst:env-mlb6-modAll,lst:env-mlb6-modAll-un-Preserve-Blank-Lines}. In
\cref{lst:env-mlb6-modAll} we see that the multiple blank lines have each been
condensed into one blank line, but that blank lines have \emph{not} been removed by the
poly-switches -- this is because, by default, \texttt{preserveBlankLines} is set to
\texttt{1}. By contrast, in \cref{lst:env-mlb6-modAll-un-Preserve-Blank-Lines}, we have
allowed the poly-switches to remove blank lines because, in
\cref{lst:UnpreserveBlankLines}, we have set \texttt{preserveBlankLines} to \texttt{0}.

Notice that in:
\begin{itemize}
\item \cref{lst:env-mlb7-preserve} that \lstinline!\end{one}! has added a blank line,
because of the value of \texttt{EndFinishesWithLineBreak} in \vref{lst:env-mlb12}, and
even though the line break ahead of \lstinline!\begin{two}! should have been removed
(because of \texttt{BeginStartsOnOwnLine} in \vref{lst:env-mlb13}), the blank line has
been preserved by default;
\item \cref{lst:env-mlb7-no-preserve}, by contrast, has had the additional line-break removed,
because of the settings in \cref{lst:UnpreserveBlankLines}.
\end{itemize}

\subsubsection{Poly-switches for double backslash}\label{subsec:dbs}
With reference to \texttt{lookForAlignDelims} (see \vref{lst:aligndelims:basic})
\announce{2019-07-13}{poly-switch for double backslash} you can specify poly-switches to
dictate the line-break behaviour of double backslashes in environments
(\vref{lst:tabularafter:basic}), commands (\vref{lst:matrixafter}), or special code
blocks (\vref{lst:specialafter}). \footnote{There is no longer any need for the code
block to be specified within \texttt{lookForAlignDelims} for DBS poly-switches to
activate. \announce{2023-01-01}*{DBS poly-switches no need to specify
lookForAlignDelims}} \index{delimiters!poly-switches for double backslash}
\index{modifying linebreaks! surrounding double backslash} \index{poly-switches!for
double back slash (delimiters)}%
Consider the code given in \cref{lst:dbs-demo}.
\begin{cmhlistings}[style=tcblatex,escapeinside={(*@}{@*)}]{\texttt{tabular3.tex}}{lst:dbs-demo}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
1 & 2 (*@$\ElseStartsOnOwnLine$@*)\\(*@$\ElseFinishesWithLineBreak$@*) 3 & 4 (*@$\ElseStartsOnOwnLine$@*)\\(*@$\ElseFinishesWithLineBreak$@*)
\end{tabular}
\end{cmhlistings}
Referencing \cref{lst:dbs-demo}:
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{DBS} stands for \emph{double backslash};
\item line breaks ahead of the double backslash are annotated by
$\ElseStartsOnOwnLine$, and are controlled by \texttt{DBSStartsOnOwnLine};
\item line breaks after the double backslash are annotated by
$\ElseFinishesWithLineBreak$, and are controlled by
\texttt{DBSFinishesWithLineBreak}.
\end{itemize}
Let's explore each of these in turn.
\paragraph{Double backslash starts on own line}
\begin{example}
We explore \texttt{DBSStartsOnOwnLine} ($\ElseStartsOnOwnLine$ in \cref{lst:dbs-demo});
starting with the code in \cref{lst:dbs-demo}, together with the YAML files given in
\cref{lst:DBS1} and \cref{lst:DBS2} and running the following commands
\index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m tabular3.tex -l DBS1.yaml
latexindent.pl -m tabular3.tex -l DBS2.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the respective output given in \cref{lst:tabular3-DBS1} and
\cref{lst:tabular3-DBS2}.

\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/DBS2.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{DBS2.yaml}}{lst:DBS2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that
\begin{itemize}
\item \cref{lst:DBS1} specifies \texttt{DBSStartsOnOwnLine} for
\emph{every} environment (that is within \texttt{lookForAlignDelims},
\vref{lst:aligndelims:advanced});
the double backslashes from \cref{lst:dbs-demo} have been moved to their own line in
\cref{lst:tabular3-DBS1};
\item \cref{lst:DBS2} specifies \texttt{DBSStartsOnOwnLine} on a
\emph{per-name} basis for \texttt{tabular} (that is within \texttt{lookForAlignDelims},
\vref{lst:aligndelims:advanced});
the double backslashes from \cref{lst:dbs-demo} have been moved to their own line in
\cref{lst:tabular3-DBS2}, having added comment symbols before moving them.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We can combine DBS poly-switches with, for example, the
\texttt{alignContentAfterDoubleBackSlash} in
\vref{sec:alignContentAfterDoubleBackSlash}.
For example, starting with the file \cref{lst:tabular6}, and using the settings in
\vref{lst:alignContentAfterDBS1,lst:alignContentAfterDBS2} and running
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -s -m -l alignContentAfterDBS1.yaml,DBS1.yaml tabular6.tex -o=+-mod1
latexindent.pl -s -m -l alignContentAfterDBS2.yaml,DBS1.yaml tabular6.tex -o=+-mod2
\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
gives the respective outputs shown in \cref{lst:tabular6-mod1,lst:tabular6-mod2}.

\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that:
\begin{itemize}
\item in \cref{lst:tabular6-mod1} the content \emph{after} the double back slash has
been aligned;
\item in \cref{lst:tabular6-mod2} we see that 3 spaces have been added after the
double back slash.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\paragraph{Double backslash finishes with line break}
\begin{example}
Let's now explore \texttt{DBSFinishesWithLineBreak} ($\ElseFinishesWithLineBreak$ in
\cref{lst:dbs-demo}); starting with the code in \cref{lst:dbs-demo}, together with the
YAML files given in \cref{lst:DBS3} and \cref{lst:DBS4} and running the following

demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m tabular3.tex -l DBS3.yaml
latexindent.pl -m tabular3.tex -l DBS4.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the respective output given in \cref{lst:tabular3-DBS3} and
\cref{lst:tabular3-DBS4}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}

\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/DBS4.yaml}[MLB-TCB]{\texttt{DBS4.yaml}}{lst:DBS4}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that
\begin{itemize}
\item \cref{lst:DBS3} specifies \texttt{DBSFinishesWithLineBreak} for
\emph{every} environment (that is within \texttt{lookForAlignDelims},
\vref{lst:aligndelims:advanced});
the code following the double backslashes from \cref{lst:dbs-demo} has been moved to
their own line in \cref{lst:tabular3-DBS3};
\item \cref{lst:DBS4} specifies \texttt{DBSFinishesWithLineBreak} on a
\emph{per-name} basis for \texttt{tabular} (that is within \texttt{lookForAlignDelims},
\vref{lst:aligndelims:advanced});
the first double backslashes from \cref{lst:dbs-demo} have moved code following them to
their own line in \cref{lst:tabular3-DBS4}, having added comment symbols before moving
them; the final double backslashes have \emph{not} added a line break as they are at the
end of the body within the code block.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\paragraph{Double backslash poly-switches for specialBeginEnd}
\begin{example}
Let's explore the double backslash poly-switches for code blocks within
\texttt{specialBeginEnd} code blocks (\vref{lst:specialBeginEnd}); we begin with the
code within \cref{lst:special4}. \index{specialBeginEnd!double backslash poly-switch

\index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m special4.tex -l DBS5.yaml

There are a few things to note:
\begin{itemize}
\item in \cref{lst:DBS5} we have specified \texttt{cmhMath} within
\texttt{lookForAlignDelims}; without this, the double backslash poly-switches
would be ignored for this code block;
\item the \texttt{DBSFinishesWithLineBreak} poly-switch has controlled the line breaks
following the double backslashes;
\item the \texttt{SpecialEndStartsOnOwnLine} poly-switch has controlled the addition
of a comment symbol, followed by a line break, as it is set to a value of 2.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\paragraph{Double backslash poly-switches for optional and mandatory arguments}
For clarity, we provide a demonstration of controlling the double backslash
poly-switches for optional and mandatory arguments.

\paragraph{Double backslash optional square brackets}
The pattern matching for the double backslash will also, optionally, allow trailing
square brackets that contain a measurement of vertical spacing, for example
\lstinline!\\[3pt]!. \index{poly-switches!for double backslash (delimiters)}
\begin{example}
For example, beginning with the code in \cref{lst:pmatrix3}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/pmatrix3.tex}{\texttt{pmatrix3.tex}}{lst:pmatrix3}
and running the following command, using \cref{lst:DBS3}, \index{switches!-l
demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m pmatrix3.tex -l DBS3.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output given in \cref{lst:pmatrix3-DBS3}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/pmatrix3-mod3.tex}{\texttt{pmatrix3.tex} using \cref{lst:DBS3}}{lst:pmatrix3-DBS3}
\end{example}
You can customise the pattern for the double backslash by exploring the \emph{fine
tuning} field detailed in \vref{lst:fineTuning}.
\subsubsection{Poly-switches for other code blocks}
Rather than repeat the examples shown for the environment code blocks (in
\vref{sec:modifylinebreaks-environments}), we choose to detail the poly-switches for all
other code blocks in \cref{tab:poly-switch-mapping}; note that each and every one of
these poly-switches is \emph{off by default}, i.e, set to \texttt{0}.
Note also that, by design, line breaks involving, \texttt{filecontents} and
`comment-marked' code blocks (\vref{lst:alignmentmarkup}) can \emph{not} be modified
using \texttt{latexindent.pl}. \announce{2019-05-05}*{verbatim poly-switch} However,
there are two poly-switches available for \texttt{verbatim} code blocks: environments
(\vref{lst:verbatimEnvironments}), commands (\vref{lst:verbatimCommands}) and
\texttt{specialBeginEnd} (\vref{lst:special-verb1-yaml}).

\subsubsection{Partnering BodyStartsOnOwnLine with argument-based poly-switches}
Some poly-switches need to be partnered together; in particular, when line breaks
involving the \emph{first} argument of a code block need to be accounted for using both
\texttt{BodyStartsOnOwnLine} (or its equivalent, see \vref{tab:poly-switch-mapping}) and
\texttt{LCuBStartsOnOwnLine} for mandatory arguments, and \texttt{LSqBStartsOnOwnLine}
for optional arguments. \index{poly-switches!conflicting partnering}
\begin{example}
Let's begin with the code in \cref{lst:mycommand1} and the YAML settings in
\cref{lst:mycom-mlb1}; with reference to \vref{tab:poly-switch-mapping}, the key
\texttt{CommandNameFinishesWithLineBreak} is an alias for \texttt{BodyStartsOnOwnLine}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/mycommand1.tex}{\texttt{mycommand1.tex}}{lst:mycommand1}
Upon running the command \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m
demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l=mycom-mlb1.yaml mycommand1.tex
\end{commandshell}
we obtain \cref{lst:mycommand1-mlb1}; note that the \emph{second} mandatory argument
beginning brace \lstinline!{! has had its leading line break removed, but that the
\emph{first} brace has not.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[
raster force size=false,
raster column 1/.style={add to width=-1cm},
]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/mycommand1-mlb1.tex}{\texttt{mycommand1.tex} using \cref{lst:mycom-mlb1}}{lst:mycommand1-mlb1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/mycom-mlb1.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.6\textwidth]{\texttt{mycom-mlb1.yaml}}{lst:mycom-mlb1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
Now let's change the YAML file so that it is as in \cref{lst:mycom-mlb2}; upon running
the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l=mycom-mlb2.yaml mycommand1.tex
\end{commandshell}
we obtain \cref{lst:mycommand1-mlb2}; both beginning braces \lstinline!{! have had their
leading line breaks removed.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[
raster force size=false,
raster column 1/.style={add to width=-1cm},
]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/mycommand1-mlb2.tex}{\texttt{mycommand1.tex} using \cref{lst:mycom-mlb2}}{lst:mycommand1-mlb2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/mycom-mlb2.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.6\textwidth]{\texttt{mycom-mlb2.yaml}}{lst:mycom-mlb2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
Now let's change the YAML file so that it is as in \cref{lst:mycom-mlb3}; upon running
the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l=mycom-mlb3.yaml mycommand1.tex
\end{commandshell}
we obtain \cref{lst:mycommand1-mlb3}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[
raster force size=false,
raster column 1/.style={add to width=-1cm},
]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/mycommand1-mlb3.tex}{\texttt{mycommand1.tex} using \cref{lst:mycom-mlb3}}{lst:mycommand1-mlb3}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/mycom-mlb3.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=.6\textwidth]{\texttt{mycom-mlb3.yaml}}{lst:mycom-mlb3}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\subsubsection{Conflicting poly-switches: sequential code blocks}
It is very easy to have conflicting poly-switches.
\begin{example}
We use the example from \vref{lst:mycommand1}, and consider the YAML settings given in
\cref{lst:mycom-mlb4}. The output from running \index{poly-switches!conflicting
switches} \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l=mycom-mlb4.yaml mycommand1.tex
\end{commandshell}
is given in \cref{lst:mycom-mlb4}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/mycommand1-mlb4.tex}{\texttt{mycommand1.tex} using \cref{lst:mycom-mlb4}}{lst:mycommand1-mlb4}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/mycom-mlb4.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=\linewidth]{\texttt{mycom-mlb4.yaml}}{lst:mycom-mlb4}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Studying \cref{lst:mycom-mlb4}, we see that the two poly-switches are at opposition with
one another:
\begin{itemize}
\item on the one hand, \texttt{LCuBStartsOnOwnLine} should \emph{not} start on its own
line (as poly-switch is set to $-1$);
\item on the other hand, \texttt{RCuBFinishesWithLineBreak} \emph{should} finish with a
line break.
\end{itemize}
So, which should win the conflict? As demonstrated in \cref{lst:mycommand1-mlb4}, it is
clear that \texttt{LCuBStartsOnOwnLine} won this conflict, and the reason is that
\emph{the second argument was processed after the first} -- in general, the most
recently-processed code block and associated poly-switch takes priority.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We can explore this further by considering the YAML settings in \cref{lst:mycom-mlb5};
upon running the command \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m
demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l=mycom-mlb5.yaml mycommand1.tex
\end{commandshell}
we obtain the output given in \cref{lst:mycommand1-mlb5}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.05\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/mycommand1-mlb5.tex}{\texttt{mycommand1.tex} using \cref{lst:mycom-mlb5}}{lst:mycommand1-mlb5}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/mycom-mlb5.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=\linewidth]{\texttt{mycom-mlb5.yaml}}{lst:mycom-mlb5}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
As previously, the most-recently-processed code block takes priority -- as before, the
second (i.e, \emph{last}) argument.
Exploring this further, we consider the YAML settings in \cref{lst:mycom-mlb6}, and run
the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l=mycom-mlb6.yaml mycommand1.tex
\end{commandshell}
which gives the output in \cref{lst:mycommand1-mlb6}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.05\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/mycommand1-mlb6.tex}{\texttt{mycommand1.tex} using \cref{lst:mycom-mlb6}}{lst:mycommand1-mlb6}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/mycom-mlb6.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=\linewidth]{\texttt{mycom-mlb6.yaml}}{lst:mycom-mlb6}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Note that a \lstinline!%! \emph{has} been added to the trailing first \lstinline!}!;
this is because:
\begin{itemize}
\item while processing the \emph{first} argument, the trailing line break has been
removed (\texttt{RCuBFinishesWithLineBreak} set to $-1$);
\item while processing the \emph{second} argument, \texttt{latexindent.pl} finds that
it does \emph{not} begin on its own line, and so because
\texttt{LCuBStartsOnOwnLine} is set to $2$, it adds a comment, followed by a line
break.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\subsubsection{Conflicting poly-switches: nested code blocks}
\begin{example}
Now let's consider an example when nested code blocks have conflicting poly-switches;
we'll use the code in \cref{lst:nested-env}, noting that it contains nested
environments. \index{poly-switches!conflicting switches}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/nested-env.tex}{\texttt{nested-env.tex}}{lst:nested-env}
Let's use the YAML settings given in \cref{lst:nested-env-mlb1-yaml}, which upon running
the command \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l=nested-env-mlb1.yaml nested-env.tex
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:nested-env-mlb1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.05\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/nested-env-mlb1.tex}{\texttt{nested-env.tex} using \cref{lst:nested-env-mlb1-yaml}}{lst:nested-env-mlb1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/nested-env-mlb1.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=\linewidth]{\texttt{nested-env-mlb1.yaml}}{lst:nested-env-mlb1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
In \cref{lst:nested-env-mlb1}, let's first of all note that both environments have
received the appropriate (default) indentation; secondly, note that the poly-switch
\texttt{EndStartsOnOwnLine} appears to have won the conflict, as \lstinline!\end{one}!
has had its leading line break removed.
\end{example}
To understand it, let's talk about the three basic phases \label{page:phases}of
\texttt{latexindent.pl}:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Phase 1: packing, in which code blocks are replaced with unique ids, working from
\emph{the inside to the outside}, and then sequentially -- for example, in
\cref{lst:nested-env}, the \texttt{two} environment is found \emph{before} the
\texttt{one} environment; if the -m switch is active, then during this phase:
\begin{itemize}
\item line breaks at the beginning of the \texttt{body} can be added (if
\texttt{BodyStartsOnOwnLine} is $1$ or $2$) or removed (if
\texttt{BodyStartsOnOwnLine} is $-1$);
\item line breaks at the end of the body can be added (if
\texttt{EndStartsOnOwnLine} is $1$ or $2$) or removed (if
\texttt{EndStartsOnOwnLine} is $-1$);
\item line breaks after the end statement can be added (if
\texttt{EndFinishesWithLineBreak} is $1$ or $2$).
\end{itemize}
\item Phase 2: indentation, in which white space is added to the begin, body, and end
statements;
\item Phase 3: unpacking, in which unique ids are replaced by their \emph{indented}
code blocks; if the -m switch is active, then during this phase,
\begin{itemize}
\item line breaks before \texttt{begin} statements can be added or removed
(depending upon \texttt{BeginStartsOnOwnLine});
\item line breaks after \emph{end} statements can be removed but \emph{NOT}
added (see \texttt{EndFinishesWithLineBreak}).
\end{itemize}
\end{enumerate}
With reference to \cref{lst:nested-env-mlb1}, this means that during Phase 1:
\begin{itemize}
\item the \texttt{two} environment is found first, and the line break ahead of the
\lstinline!\end{two}! statement is removed because \texttt{EndStartsOnOwnLine} is
set to $-1$. Importantly, because, \emph{at this stage}, \lstinline!\end{two}!
\emph{does} finish with a line break, \texttt{EndFinishesWithLineBreak} causes no
action.
\item next, the \texttt{one} environment is found; the line break ahead of
\lstinline!\end{one}! is removed because \texttt{EndStartsOnOwnLine} is set to
$-1$.
\end{itemize}
The indentation is done in Phase 2; in Phase 3 \emph{there is no option to add a line
break after the \lstinline!end! statements}. We can justify this by remembering that
during Phase 3, the \texttt{one} environment will be found and processed first, followed
by the \texttt{two} environment. If the \texttt{two} environment were to add a line
break after the \lstinline!\end{two}! statement, then \texttt{latexindent.pl} would have
no way of knowing how much indentation to add to the subsequent text (in this case,
\lstinline!\end{one}!).
\begin{example}
We can explore this further using the poly-switches in \cref{lst:nested-env-mlb2}; upon
running the command \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -l=nested-env-mlb2.yaml nested-env.tex
\end{commandshell}
we obtain the output given in \cref{lst:nested-env-mlb2-output}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/nested-env-mlb2.tex}{\texttt{nested-env.tex} using \cref{lst:nested-env-mlb2}}{lst:nested-env-mlb2-output}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/nested-env-mlb2.yaml}[MLB-TCB,width=\linewidth]{\texttt{nested-env-mlb2.yaml}}{lst:nested-env-mlb2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
During Phase 1:
\begin{itemize}
\item the \texttt{two} environment is found first, and the line break ahead of the
\lstinline!\end{two}! statement is not changed because
\texttt{EndStartsOnOwnLine} is set to $1$. Importantly, because, \emph{at this
stage}, \lstinline!\end{two}! \emph{does} finish with a line break,
\texttt{EndFinishesWithLineBreak} causes no action.
\item next, the \texttt{one} environment is found; the line break ahead of
\lstinline!\end{one}! is already present, and no action is needed.
\end{itemize}
The indentation is done in Phase 2, and then in Phase 3, the \texttt{one} environment is
found and processed first, followed by the \texttt{two} environment. \emph{At this
stage}, the \texttt{two} environment finds \texttt{EndFinishesWithLineBreak} is $-1$, so
it removes the trailing line break; remember, at this point, \texttt{latexindent.pl} has
completely finished with the \texttt{one} environment.
\end{example}

\section{The -r, -rv and -rr switches}\label{sec:replacements}
\fancyhead[R]{\bfseries\thepage%
\tikz[remember picture,overlay] {
\node at (1,0){\includegraphics{logo-bw}}; }
}
You can instruct \texttt{latexindent.pl} to perform replacements/substitutions on your
\announce{2019-07-13}{replacement mode switches} file by using any of the \texttt{-r},
\texttt{-rv} or \texttt{-rr} switches: \index{verbatim!rv, replacementrespectverb
switch}
\begin{itemize}
\item the \texttt{-r} switch will perform indentation and replacements, not respecting
verbatim code blocks;
\item the \texttt{-rv} switch will perform indentation and replacements, and
\emph{will} respect verbatim code blocks;
\item the \texttt{-rr} switch will \emph{not} perform indentation, and will perform
replacements not respecting verbatim code blocks.
\end{itemize}
We will demonstrate each of the \texttt{-r}, \texttt{-rv} and \texttt{-rr} switches, but
a summary is given in \cref{tab:replacementswitches}.
\begin{table}[!htb]
\centering
\caption{The replacement mode switches}\label{tab:replacementswitches}
\begin{tabular}{rcc}
\toprule
switch & indentation? & respect verbatim? \\
\midrule
\texttt{-r} & \faCheck & \faClose \\
\texttt{-rv} & \faCheck & \faCheck \\
\texttt{-rr} & \faClose & \faClose \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
The default value of the \texttt{replacements} field is shown in
\cref{lst:replacements}; as with all of the other fields, you are encouraged to
customise and change this as you see fit. The options in this field will \emph{only} be
considered if the \texttt{-r}, \texttt{-rv} or \texttt{-rr} switches are active; when
discussing YAML settings related to the replacement-mode switches, we will use the style
given in \cref{lst:replacements}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=replacements]{../defaultSettings.yaml}[width=0.95\linewidth,before=\centering,replace-TCB]{\texttt{replacements}}{lst:replacements}
The first entry within the \texttt{replacements} field is \texttt{amalgamate}, and is
\emph{optional}; by default it is set to 1, so that replacements will be amalgamated
from each settings file that you specify. As you'll see in the demonstrations that
follow, there is no need to specify this field.
You'll notice that, by default, there is only \emph{one} entry in the
\texttt{replacements} field, but it can take as many entries as you would like; each one
needs to begin with a \texttt{-} on its own line.
\subsection{Introduction to replacements}
Let's explore the action of the default settings, and then we'll demonstrate the feature
with further examples.
\begin{example}
Beginning with the code in \cref{lst:replace1} and running the command
\index{switches!-r demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r replace1.tex
\end{commandshell}
gives the output given in \cref{lst:replace1-r1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.01\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/replace1.tex}{\texttt{replace1.tex}}{lst:replace1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/replace1-r1.tex}{\texttt{replace1.tex} default}{lst:replace1-r1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that in \cref{lst:replacements}, because \texttt{lookForThis} is set to 0, the
specified replacement has \emph{not} been made, and there is no difference between
\cref{lst:replace1,lst:replace1-r1}.
If we \emph{do} wish to perform this replacement, then we can tweak the default settings
of \vref{lst:replacements} by changing \texttt{lookForThis} to 1; we perform this action
in \cref{lst:replace1-yaml}, and run the command \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\index{switches!-r demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r replace1.tex -l=replace1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
which gives the output in \cref{lst:replace1-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.01\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/replace1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{replace1.tex} using \cref{lst:replace1-yaml}}{lst:replace1-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/replace1.yaml}[replace-TCB]{\texttt{replace1.yaml}}{lst:replace1-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Note that in \cref{lst:replace1-yaml} we have specified \texttt{amalgamate} as 0 so that
the default replacements are overwritten.
\end{example}
We haven't yet discussed the \texttt{when} field; don't worry, we'll get to it as part
of the discussion in what follows.
\subsection{The two types of replacements}
There are two types of replacements:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \emph{string}-based replacements, which replace the string in
\emph{this} with the string in \emph{that}.
If you specify \texttt{this} and you do not specify \texttt{that}, then the \texttt{that}
field will be assumed to be empty.
\index{regular expressions!replacement switch, -r}
\item \emph{regex}-based replacements, which use the \texttt{substitution} field.
\end{enumerate}
We will demonstrate both in the examples that follow.
\texttt{latexindent.pl} chooses which type of replacement to make based on which fields
have been specified; if the \texttt{this} field is specified, then it will make
\emph{string}-based replacements, regardless of if \texttt{substitution} is present or
not.
\subsection{Examples of replacements}
\begin{example}
We begin with code given in \cref{lst:colsep}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/colsep.tex}{\texttt{colsep.tex}}{lst:colsep}
Let's assume that our goal is to remove both of the \texttt{arraycolsep} statements; we
can achieve this in a few different ways.
Using the YAML in \cref{lst:colsep-yaml}, and running the command \index{switches!-l
demonstration} \index{switches!-r demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r colsep.tex -l=colsep.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we achieve the output in \cref{lst:colsep-mod0}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/colsep-mod0.tex}{\texttt{colsep.tex} using \cref{lst:colsep-yaml}}{lst:colsep-mod0}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/colsep.yaml}[replace-TCB]{\texttt{colsep.yaml}}{lst:colsep-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Note that in \cref{lst:colsep-yaml}, we have specified \emph{two} separate fields, each
with their own `\emph{this}' field; furthermore, for both of the separate fields, we
have not specified `\texttt{that}', so the \texttt{that} field is assumed to be blank by
\texttt{latexindent.pl};
We can make the YAML in \cref{lst:colsep-yaml} more concise by exploring the
\texttt{substitution} field. Using the settings in \cref{lst:colsep1} and running the
command \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-r demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r colsep.tex -l=colsep1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we achieve the output in \cref{lst:colsep-mod1}. \index{regular
expressions!substitution field, arraycolsep} \index{regular expressions!at least one +}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/colsep-mod1.tex}{\texttt{colsep.tex} using \cref{lst:colsep1}}{lst:colsep-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/colsep1.yaml}[replace-TCB,width=0.6\textwidth]{\texttt{colsep1.yaml}}{lst:colsep1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
The code given in \cref{lst:colsep1} is an example of a \emph{regular expression}, which
we may abbreviate to \emph{regex} in what follows. This manual is not intended to be a
tutorial on regular expressions; you might like to read, for example,
\cite{masteringregexp} for a detailed covering of the topic. With reference to
\cref{lst:colsep1}, we do note the following:
\begin{itemize}
\item the general form of the \texttt{substitution} field is
\lstinline!s/regex/replacement/modifiers!. You can place any regular expression
you like within this;
\item we have `escaped' the backslash by using \lstinline!\\!
\item we have used \lstinline!\d+! to represent \emph{at least} one digit
\item the \texttt{s} \emph{modifier} (in the \texttt{sg} at the end of the line)
instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to treat your file as one single line;
\item the \texttt{g} \emph{modifier} (in the \texttt{sg} at the end of the line)
instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to make the substitution \emph{globally}
throughout your file; you might try removing the \texttt{g} modifier from
\cref{lst:colsep1} and observing the difference in output.
\end{itemize}
You might like to see
\href{https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html#Modifiers}{https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html\#Modifiers}
for details of modifiers; in general, I recommend starting with the \texttt{sg}
modifiers for this feature.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We'll keep working with the file in \vref{lst:colsep} for this example.
Using the YAML in \cref{lst:multi-line}, and running the command \index{switches!-l
demonstration} \index{switches!-r demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r colsep.tex -l=multi-line.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we achieve the output in \cref{lst:colsep-mod2}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.01\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/colsep-mod2.tex}{\texttt{colsep.tex} using \cref{lst:multi-line}}{lst:colsep-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/multi-line.yaml}[replace-TCB]{\texttt{multi-line.yaml}}{lst:multi-line}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
With reference to \cref{lst:multi-line}, we have specified a \emph{multi-line} version
of \texttt{this} by employing the \emph{literal} YAML style \lstinline!|-!. See, for
example,
\href{https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3790454/in-yaml-how-do-i-break-a-string-over-multiple-lines}{https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3790454/in-yaml-how-do-i-break-a-string-over-multiple-lines}
for further options, all of which can be used in your YAML file.
This is a natural point to explore the \texttt{when} field, specified in
\vref{lst:replacements}. This field can take two values: \emph{before} and \emph{after},
which respectively instruct \texttt{latexindent.pl} to perform the replacements
\emph{before} indentation or \emph{after} it. The default value is \texttt{before}.
Using the YAML in \cref{lst:multi-line1}, and running the command \index{switches!-l
demonstration} \index{switches!-r demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r colsep.tex -l=multi-line1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we achieve the output in \cref{lst:colsep-mod3}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.01\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/colsep-mod3.tex}{\texttt{colsep.tex} using \cref{lst:multi-line1}}{lst:colsep-mod3}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/multi-line1.yaml}[replace-TCB]{\texttt{multi-line1.yaml}}{lst:multi-line1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that, because we have specified \texttt{when: after}, that
\texttt{latexindent.pl} has not found the string specified in \cref{lst:multi-line1}
within the file in \vref{lst:colsep}. As it has looked for the string within
\cref{lst:multi-line1} \emph{after} the indentation has been performed. After
indentation, the string as written in \cref{lst:multi-line1} is no longer part of the
file, and has therefore not been replaced.
As a final note on this example, if you use the \texttt{-rr} switch, as follows,
\index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-rr demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -rr colsep.tex -l=multi-line1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then the \texttt{when} field is ignored, no indentation is done, and the output is as in
\cref{lst:colsep-mod2}.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
An important part of the substitution routine is in \emph{capture groups}.
Assuming that we start with the code in \cref{lst:displaymath}, let's assume that our
goal is to replace each occurrence of \lstinline!$$...$$! with
\lstinline!\begin{equation*}...\end{equation*}!. This example is partly motivated by
\href{https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/242150/good-looking-latex-code}{tex
stackexchange question 242150}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/displaymath.tex}{\texttt{displaymath.tex}}{lst:displaymath}
We use the settings in \cref{lst:displaymath1} and run the command \index{switches!-l
demonstration} \index{switches!-r demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r displaymath.tex -l=displaymath1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
to receive the output given in \cref{lst:displaymath-mod1}. \index{regular
expressions!substitution field, equation}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster left skip=-3.75cm,
raster right skip=-2cm,]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/displaymath-mod1.tex}{\texttt{displaymath.tex} using \cref{lst:displaymath1}}{lst:displaymath-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/displaymath1.yaml}[replace-TCB]{\texttt{displaymath1.yaml}}{lst:displaymath1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
A few notes about \cref{lst:displaymath1}:
\begin{enumerate}
\item we have used the \texttt{x} modifier, which allows us to have white space within
the regex;
\item we have used a capture group, \lstinline!(.*?)! which captures the content
between the \lstinline!$$...$$! into the special variable, \lstinline!$1!;
\item we have used the content of the capture group, \lstinline!$1!, in the replacement
text.
\end{enumerate}
See
\href{https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html#Capture-groups}{https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html\#Capture-groups}
for a discussion of capture groups.
The features of the replacement switches can, of course, be combined with others from
the toolkit of \texttt{latexindent.pl}. For example, we can combine the poly-switches of
\vref{sec:poly-switches}, which we do in \cref{lst:equation}; upon running the command
\index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-m demonstration} \index{switches!-r
demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r -m displaymath.tex -l=displaymath1.yaml,equation.yaml
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the output in \cref{lst:displaymath-mod2}.

This example is motivated by
\href{https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/490086/bring-several-lines-together-to-fill-blank-spaces-in-texmaker}{tex
stackexchange question 490086}. We begin with the code in \cref{lst:phrase}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/phrase.tex}{\texttt{phrase.tex}}{lst:phrase}
Our goal is to make the spacing uniform between the phrases. To achieve this, we employ
the settings in \cref{lst:hspace}, and run the command \index{switches!-l demonstration}
\index{switches!-r demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r phrase.tex -l=hspace.yaml
\end{commandshell}
which gives the output in \cref{lst:phrase-mod1}. \index{regular expressions!at least

\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/hspace.yaml}[replace-TCB]{\texttt{hspace.yaml}}{lst:hspace}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
The \lstinline!\h+! setting in \cref{lst:hspace} say to replace \emph{at least one
horizontal space} with a single space.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We begin with the code in \cref{lst:references}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/references.tex}{\texttt{references.tex}}{lst:references}
Our goal is to change each reference so that both the text and the reference are
contained within one hyperlink. We achieve this by employing \cref{lst:reference} and
running the command \index{switches!-l demonstration} \index{switches!-r demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -r references.tex -l=reference.yaml
\end{commandshell}
which gives the output in \cref{lst:references-mod1}. \index{regular

\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/reference.yaml}[replace-TCB]{\texttt{reference.yaml}}{lst:reference}
Referencing \cref{lst:reference}, the \lstinline!|! means \emph{or}, we have used
\emph{capture groups}, together with an example of an \emph{optional} pattern,
\lstinline!(?:eq)?!.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
Let's explore the three replacement mode switches (see \vref{tab:replacementswitches})
in the context of an example that contains a verbatim code block, \cref{lst:verb1}; we
will use the settings in \cref{lst:verbatim1-yaml}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/verb1.tex}{\texttt{verb1.tex}}{lst:verb1}

latexindent.pl -rv verb1.tex -l=verbatim1.yaml -o=+-rv-mod1
latexindent.pl -rr verb1.tex -l=verbatim1.yaml -o=+-rr-mod1
\end{commandshell}
we receive the respective output in \crefrange{lst:verb1-mod1}{lst:verb1-rr-mod1}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=3,

\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
We note that:
\begin{enumerate}
\item in \cref{lst:verb1-mod1} indentation has been performed, and that the
replacements specified in \cref{lst:verbatim1-yaml} have been performed, even
within the verbatim code block;
\item in \cref{lst:verb1-rv-mod1} indentation has been performed, but that the
replacements have \emph{not} been performed within the verbatim environment,
because the \texttt{rv} switch is active;
\item in \cref{lst:verb1-rr-mod1} indentation has \emph{not} been performed, but that
replacements have been performed, not respecting the verbatim code block.
\end{enumerate}
See the summary within \vref{tab:replacementswitches}.
\begin{example}
Let's explore the \texttt{amalgamate} field from \vref{lst:replacements} in the context
of the file specified in \cref{lst:amalg1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/amalg1.tex}{\texttt{amalg1.tex}}{lst:amalg1}
Let's consider the YAML files given in \crefrange{lst:amalg1-yaml}{lst:amalg3-yaml}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=3,

\end{commandshell}
we receive the respective output in \crefrange{lst:amalg1-mod1}{lst:amalg1-mod123}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=3,
raster left skip=-3.75cm,

We note that:
\begin{enumerate}
\item in \cref{lst:amalg1-mod1} the replacements from \cref{lst:amalg1-yaml} have been
used;
\item in \cref{lst:amalg1-mod12} the replacements from
\cref{lst:amalg1-yaml,lst:amalg2-yaml} have \emph{both} been used, because the
default value of \texttt{amalgamate} is 1;
\item in \cref{lst:amalg1-mod123} \emph{only} the replacements from
\cref{lst:amalg3-yaml} have been used, because the value of \texttt{amalgamate}
has been set to 0.

\section{The --lines switch}\label{sec:line-switch}
\texttt{latexindent.pl}
\announce{2021-09-16}{line switch demonstration} can
operate on a \emph{selection} of lines of the file using the \texttt{--lines} or
\texttt{-n} switch.
\index{switches!-lines demonstration}
The basic syntax is \texttt{--lines MIN-MAX}, so for example
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 3-7 myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -n 3-7 myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
will only operate upon lines 3 to 7 in \texttt{myfile.tex}. All of the other lines will
\emph{not} be operated upon by \texttt{latexindent.pl}.
The options for the \texttt{lines} switch are:
\begin{itemize}
\item line range, as in \texttt{--lines 3-7}
\item single line, as in \texttt{--lines 5}
\item multiple line ranges separated by commas, as in \texttt{--lines 3-5,8-10}
\item negated line ranges, as in \texttt{--lines !3-5} which translates to
\texttt{--lines 1-2,6-N}, where N is the number of lines in your file.
\end{itemize}
We demonstrate this feature, and the available variations in what follows. We will use
the file in \cref{lst:myfile}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lineNumbersTeX]{demonstrations/myfile.tex}[tex-TCB]{\texttt{myfile.tex}}{lst:myfile}
\begin{example}
We demonstrate the basic usage using the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 3-7 myfile.tex -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
which instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to only operate on lines 3 to 7; the output is
given in \cref{lst:myfile-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lineNumbersTeX]{demonstrations/myfile-mod1.tex}[tex-TCB]{\texttt{myfile-mod1.tex}}{lst:myfile-mod1}
The following two calls to \texttt{latexindent.pl} are equivalent
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 3-7 myfile.tex -o=+-mod1
latexindent.pl --lines 7-3 myfile.tex -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
as \texttt{latexindent.pl} performs a check to put the lowest number first.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
You can call the \texttt{lines} switch with only \emph{one number} and in which case
only that line will be operated upon. For example
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 5 myfile.tex -o=+-mod2
\end{commandshell}
instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to only operate on line 5; the output is given in
\cref{lst:myfile-mod2}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lineNumbersTeX]{demonstrations/myfile-mod2.tex}[tex-TCB]{\texttt{myfile-mod2.tex}}{lst:myfile-mod2}
The following two calls are equivalent:
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 5 myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --lines 5-5 myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
If you specify a value outside of the line range of the file then
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will ignore the \texttt{lines} argument, detail as such in the
log file, and proceed to operate on the entire file.
For example, in the following call
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 11-13 myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will ignore the \texttt{lines} argument, and \emph{operate on the entire file} because \cref{lst:myfile} only has 12 lines.
Similarly, in the call
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines -1-3 myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will ignore the \texttt{lines} argument, and \emph{operate on the entire file} because we assume that negatively numbered
lines in a file do not exist.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
You can specify \emph{multiple line ranges} as in the following
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 3-5,8-10 myfile.tex -o=+-mod3
\end{commandshell}
which instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to operate upon lines 3 to 5 and lines 8 to 10;
the output is given in \cref{lst:myfile-mod3}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lineNumbersTeX]{demonstrations/myfile-mod3.tex}[tex-TCB]{\texttt{myfile-mod3.tex}}{lst:myfile-mod3}
The following calls to \texttt{latexindent.pl} are all equivalent
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 3-5,8-10 myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --lines 8-10,3-5 myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --lines 10-8,3-5 myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --lines 10-8,5-3 myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
as \texttt{latexindent.pl} performs a check to put the lowest line ranges first, and
within each line range, it puts the lowest number first.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
There's no limit to the number of line ranges that you can specify, they just need to be
separated by commas. For example
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 1-2,4-5,9-10,12 myfile.tex -o=+-mod4
\end{commandshell}
has four line ranges: lines 1 to 2, lines 4 to 5, lines 9 to 10 and line 12. The output
is given in \cref{lst:myfile-mod4}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lineNumbersTeX]{demonstrations/myfile-mod4.tex}[tex-TCB]{\texttt{myfile-mod4.tex}}{lst:myfile-mod4}
As previously, the ordering does not matter, and the following calls to
\texttt{latexindent.pl} are all equivalent
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 1-2,4-5,9-10,12 myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --lines 2-1,4-5,9-10,12 myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --lines 4-5,1-2,9-10,12 myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --lines 12,4-5,1-2,9-10 myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
as \texttt{latexindent.pl} performs a check to put the lowest line ranges first, and
within each line range, it puts the lowest number first.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
\index{switches!-lines demonstration, negation}
You can specify \emph{negated line ranges} by using \texttt{!} as in
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines !5-7 myfile.tex -o=+-mod5
\end{commandshell}
which instructs \texttt{latexindent.pl} to operate upon all of the lines \emph{except}
lines 5 to 7.
In other words, \texttt{latexindent.pl} \emph{will} operate on lines 1 to 4, and 8 to
12, so the following two calls are equivalent:
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines !5-7 myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --lines 1-4,8-12 myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
The output is given in \cref{lst:myfile-mod5}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lineNumbersTeX]{demonstrations/myfile-mod5.tex}[tex-TCB]{\texttt{myfile-mod5.tex}}{lst:myfile-mod5}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
\index{switches!-lines demonstration, negation}
You can specify \emph{multiple negated line ranges} such as
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines !5-7,!9-10 myfile.tex -o=+-mod6
\end{commandshell}
which is equivalent to:
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 1-4,8,11-12 myfile.tex -o=+-mod6
\end{commandshell}
The output is given in \cref{lst:myfile-mod6}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lineNumbersTeX]{demonstrations/myfile-mod6.tex}[tex-TCB]{\texttt{myfile-mod6.tex}}{lst:myfile-mod6}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
If you specify a line range with anything other than an integer, then
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will ignore the \texttt{lines} argument, and \emph{operate on
the entire file}.
Sample calls that result in the \texttt{lines} argument being ignored include the
following:
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 1-x myfile.tex
latexindent.pl --lines !y-3 myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
We can, of course, use the \texttt{lines} switch in combination with other switches.
For example, let's use with the file in \cref{lst:myfile1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lineNumbersTeX]{demonstrations/myfile1.tex}[tex-TCB]{\texttt{myfile1.tex}}{lst:myfile1}
We can demonstrate interaction with the \texttt{-m} switch (see
\vref{sec:modifylinebreaks}); in particular, if we use \vref{lst:mlb2},
\vref{lst:env-mlb7} and \vref{lst:env-mlb8} and run
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl --lines 6 myfile1.tex -o=+-mod1 -m -l env-mlb2,env-mlb7,env-mlb8 -o=+-mod1
\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
then we receive the output in \cref{lst:myfile1-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=lineNumbersTeX]{demonstrations/myfile1-mod1.tex}[tex-TCB]{\texttt{myfile1-mod1.tex}}{lst:myfile1-mod1}

\end{widepage}
The fields given in \cref{lst:fineTuning} are all \emph{regular expressions}. This
manual is not intended to be a tutorial on regular expressions; you might like to read,
for example, \cite{masteringregexp} for a detailed covering of the topic.
We make the following comments with reference to \cref{lst:fineTuning}:
\begin{enumerate}
\item the \texttt{environments:name} field details that the \emph{name} of an
environment can contain:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \texttt{a-z} lower case letters
\item \texttt{A-Z} upper case letters
\item \texttt{@} the \texttt{@} 'letter'
\item \lstinline!\*! stars
\item \texttt{0-9} numbers
\item \lstinline!_! underscores
\item \lstinline!\! backslashes
\end{enumerate}
\index{regular expressions!at least one +}
The \texttt{+} at the end means \emph{at least one} of the above characters.
\item the \texttt{ifElseFi:name} field:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \lstinline^@?^ means that it \emph{can possibly} begin with
\lstinline^@^
\item followed by \texttt{if}
\item followed by 0 or more characters from \texttt{a-z}, \texttt{A-Z} and
\texttt{@}
\item the \texttt{?} the end means \emph{non-greedy}, which means `stop the
match as soon as possible'
\end{enumerate}
\item the \texttt{keyEqualsValuesBracesBrackets} contains some interesting syntax:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \lstinline!|! means `or'
\item \lstinline^(?:(?^ is designed for 'beamer'-type commands; the
\lstinline^.*?^ means anything in between \lstinline^<...>^
\end{enumerate}
\item the \texttt{modifyLineBreaks} field refers to fine tuning settings detailed in
\vref{sec:modifylinebreaks}. In particular:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \texttt{betterFullStop} is in relation to the one sentence per line routine, detailed in
\vref{sec:onesentenceperline}
\item \texttt{doubleBackSlash} is in relation to the \texttt{DBSStartsOnOwnLine} and
\texttt{DBSFinishesWithLineBreak} polyswitches surrounding double backslashes, see
\vref{subsec:dbs}
\item \texttt{comma} is in relation to the \texttt{CommaStartsOnOwnLine} and
\texttt{CommaFinishesWithLineBreak} polyswitches surrounding commas in optional and
mandatory arguments; see \vref{tab:poly-switch-mapping}
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
It is not obvious from \cref{lst:fineTuning}, but each of the \texttt{follow},
\texttt{before} and \texttt{between} fields allow trailing comments, line breaks, and
horizontal spaces between each character.
\index{warning!capture groups}
\begin{warning}
For the \texttt{fineTuning} feature you should only ever use \emph{non}-capturing
groups, such as \lstinline!(?:...)! and \emph{not} capturing groups, which are
\lstinline!(...)!
\end{warning}
\begin{example}
As a demonstration, consider the file given in \cref{lst:finetuning1}, together with its
default output using the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl finetuning1.tex
\end{commandshell}
is given in \cref{lst:finetuning1-default}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.01\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/finetuning1.tex}{\texttt{finetuning1.tex}}{lst:finetuning1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/finetuning1-default.tex}{\texttt{finetuning1.tex} default}{lst:finetuning1-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
It's clear from \cref{lst:finetuning1-default} that the indentation scheme has not
worked as expected. We can \emph{fine tune} the indentation scheme by employing the
settings given in \cref{lst:fine-tuning1} and running the command \index{switches!-l
demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl finetuning1.tex -l=fine-tuning1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
and the associated (desired) output is given in \cref{lst:finetuning1-mod1}.
\index{regular expressions!at least one +}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.01\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/finetuning1-mod1.tex}{\texttt{finetuning1.tex} using \cref{lst:fine-tuning1}}{lst:finetuning1-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/fine-tuning1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{finetuning1.yaml}}{lst:fine-tuning1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
Let's have another demonstration; consider the file given in \cref{lst:finetuning2},
together with its default output using the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl finetuning2.tex
\end{commandshell}
is given in \cref{lst:finetuning2-default}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.01\linewidth,
raster left skip=-3.75cm,
raster right skip=0cm,]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/finetuning2.tex}{\texttt{finetuning2.tex}}{lst:finetuning2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/finetuning2-default.tex}{\texttt{finetuning2.tex} default}{lst:finetuning2-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
It's clear from \cref{lst:finetuning2-default} that the indentation scheme has not
worked as expected. We can \emph{fine tune} the indentation scheme by employing the
settings given in \cref{lst:fine-tuning2} and running the command \index{switches!-l
demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl finetuning2.tex -l=fine-tuning2.yaml
\end{commandshell}
and the associated (desired) output is given in \cref{lst:finetuning2-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.01\linewidth,
raster left skip=-3.75cm,
raster right skip=0cm,]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/finetuning2-mod1.tex}{\texttt{finetuning2.tex} using \cref{lst:fine-tuning2}}{lst:finetuning2-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/fine-tuning2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{finetuning2.yaml}}{lst:fine-tuning2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
In particular, note that the settings in \cref{lst:fine-tuning2} specify that
\texttt{NamedGroupingBracesBrackets} and \texttt{UnNamedGroupingBracesBrackets} can
follow \texttt{"} and that we allow \lstinline!---! between arguments.
\end{example}
\begin{example}
You can tweak the \texttt{fineTuning} using the \texttt{-y} switch, but to be sure to
use quotes appropriately. For example, starting with the code in \cref{lst:finetuning3}
and running the following command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -m -y='modifyLineBreaks:oneSentencePerLine:manipulateSentences: 1, modifyLineBreaks:oneSentencePerLine:sentencesBeginWith:a-z: 1, fineTuning:modifyLineBreaks:betterFullStop: "(?:\.|;|:(?![a-z]))|(?:(?myfile.tex}
Similarly,
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile*.tex -o=++
\end{commandshell}
\emph{will} work because the `existence check/incrementation' routine will be applied.
\subsection{interaction with lines switch}
This behaves as expected by attempting to operate on the line numbers specified for each file. See
the examples in \cref{sec:line-switch}.
\subsection{interaction with check switches}
The exit codes for \texttt{latexindent.pl} are given in \vref{tab:exit-codes}.
When operating on multiple files with the check switch active, as in
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl myfile*.tex --check
\end{commandshell}
then
\begin{itemize}
\item exit code 0 means that the text from \emph{none} of the files has been changed;
\item exit code 1 means that the text from \emph{at least one} of the files been file
changed.
\end{itemize}
The interaction with \texttt{checkv} switch is as in the check switch, but with verbose
output.
\subsection{when a file does not exist}
What happens if one of the files can not be operated upon?
\begin{itemize}
\item if at least one of the files does not exist and \texttt{latexindent.pl} has been
called to act upon multiple files, then the exit code is 3; note that
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will try to operate on each file that it is called upon,
and will not exit with a fatal message in this case;
\item if at least one of the files can not be read and \texttt{latexindent.pl} has
been called to act upon multiple files, then the exit code is 4; note that
\texttt{latexindent.pl} will try to operate on each file that it is called upon,
and will not exit with a fatal message in this case;
\item if \texttt{latexindent.pl} has been told to operate on multiple files, and some
do not exist and some cannot be read, then the exit code will be either 3 or 4,
depending upon which it scenario it encountered most recently.
\end{itemize}
\section{latexindent-yaml-schema.json}
\texttt{latexindent.pl}
\announce{2022-01-02}{latexindent-yaml-schema.json} ships with
\texttt{latexindent-yaml-schema.json}
which might help you when constructing your YAML files.
\index{json!schema for YAML files}
\subsection{VSCode demonstration}
To use \texttt{latexindent-yaml-schema.json} with \texttt{VSCode}, you can use the
following steps: \index{VSCode} \index{json!VSCode}
\begin{enumerate}
\item download \texttt{latexindent-yaml-schema.json} from the \texttt{documentation}
folder of \cite{latexindent-home}, save it in whichever directory you would
like, noting it for reference;
\item following the instructions from \cite{vscode-yaml-demo}, for example, you should
install the VSCode YAML extension \cite{vscode-yaml-extentions};
\item set up your \texttt{settings.json} file using the directory you saved the file
by adapting \cref{lst:settings.json}; on my Ubuntu laptop this file lives at
\texttt{/home/cmhughes/.config/Code/User/settings.json}.
\end{enumerate}
\begin{widepage}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/settings.json}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{settings.json}}{lst:settings.json}
\end{widepage}
Alternatively, if you would prefer not to download the json file, you might be able to
use an adapted version of \cref{lst:settings-alt.json}.
\begin{widepage}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/settings-alt.json}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{settings-alt.json}}{lst:settings-alt.json}
\end{widepage}
Finally, if your TeX distribution is up to date, then
\texttt{latexindent-yaml-schema.json} \emph{should} be in the documentation folder of
your installation, so an adapted version of \cref{lst:settings-alt1.json} may work.
\begin{widepage}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/settings-alt1.json}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{settings-alt1.json}}{lst:settings-alt1.json}
\end{widepage}
If you have details of how to implement this schema in other editors, please feel
encouraged to contribute to this documentation.
\section{Using conda}\label{sec:app:conda}
If you use conda you'll only need
\begin{commandshell}
conda install latexindent.pl -c conda-forge
\end{commandshell}
This will install the executable and all its dependencies (including perl) in the
activate environment. You don't even have to worry about \texttt{defaultSettings.yaml}
as it included too, you can thus skip \cref{sec:requiredmodules,sec:updating-path}.
\index{conda}
You can get a conda installation for example from \cite{conda} or from \cite{anacoda}.
\subsection{Sample conda installation on Ubuntu}
On Ubuntu I followed the 64-bit installation instructions at \cite{condainstallubuntu}
and then I ran the following commands:
\begin{commandshell}
conda create -n latexindent.pl
conda activate latexindent.pl
conda install latexindent.pl -c conda-forge
conda info --envs
conda list
conda run latexindent.pl -vv
\end{commandshell}
I found the details given at \cite{condainstallhelp} to be helpful.
\section{Using docker}\label{sec:app:docker}
If you use docker you'll only need \announce{2022-06-12}{docker support}
\begin{commandshell}
docker pull ghcr.io/cmhughes/latexindent.pl
\end{commandshell}
This will download the image packed \texttt{latexindent}'s executable and its all
dependencies. \index{docker} Thank you to \cite{eggplants} for contributing this
feature; see also \cite{cmhughesio}. For reference, \emph{ghcr} stands for \emph{GitHub
Container Repository}.
\subsection{Sample docker installation on Ubuntu}
To pull the image and show \texttt{latexindent}'s help on Ubuntu:
\begin{cmhlistings}[style=tcblatex,language=Bash]{\texttt{docker-install.sh}}{lst:docker-install}
# setup docker if not already installed
if ! command -v docker &> /dev/null; then
sudo apt install docker.io -y
sudo groupadd docker
sudo gpasswd -a "$USER" docker
sudo systemctl restart docker
newgrp docker
fi
# download image and execute
docker pull ghcr.io/cmhughes/latexindent.pl
docker run ghcr.io/cmhughes/latexindent.pl -h
\end{cmhlistings}
Once I have run the above, on subsequent logins I run
\begin{cmhlistings}[style=tcblatex,language=Bash]{\texttt{docker-install.sh}}{lst:docker-install-subsequent}
newgrp docker
docker run ghcr.io/cmhughes/latexindent.pl -h
\end{cmhlistings}
\subsection{How to format on Docker}
When you use \texttt{latexindent} with the docker image, you have to mount target \texttt{tex} file like this:
\begin{commandshell}
docker run -v /path/to/local/myfile.tex:/myfile.tex ghcr.io/cmhughes/latexindent.pl -s -w myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
\section{pre-commit}
Users of \texttt{.git} may be interested \announce{2022-01-21}{pre-commit for
latexindent.pl} in exploring the \texttt{pre-commit} tool \cite{pre-commithome}, which
is supported by \texttt{latexindent.pl}. Thank you to \cite{tdegeusprecommit} for
contributing this feature, and to \cite{holzhausprecommit} for their contribution to
it.
To use the \texttt{pre-commit} tool, you will need to install \texttt{pre-commit};
sample instructions for Ubuntu are given in \cref{sec:pre-commit-ubuntu}. Once
installed, there are two ways to use \texttt{pre-commit}: using \texttt{CPAN} or using
\texttt{conda}, detailed in \cref{sec:pre-commit-cpan} and \cref{sec:pre-commit-conda}
respectively.
\subsection{Sample pre-commit installation on Ubuntu}\label{sec:pre-commit-ubuntu}
On Ubuntu I ran the following command:
\begin{commandshell}
python3 -m pip install pre-commit
\end{commandshell}
I then updated my path via .bashrc so that it includes the line in
\cref{lst:bashrc-update}.
\begin{cmhlistings}[style=tcblatex,language=Bash]{\texttt{.bashrc} update}{lst:bashrc-update}
...
export PATH=$PATH:/home/cmhughes/.local/bin
\end{cmhlistings}
\subsection{pre-commit defaults}
The default values that are employed by \texttt{pre-commit} are shown in \cref{lst:.pre-commit-yaml-default}.
\index{pre-commit!default}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{../.pre-commit-hooks.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{.pre-commit-hooks.yaml} (default)}{lst:.pre-commit-yaml-default}
In particular, the decision has deliberately been made (in collaboration with
\cite{holzhausprecommit}) to have the default to employ the following switches:
\texttt{overwriteIfDifferent}, \texttt{silent}, \texttt{local}; this is detailed in the
lines that specify \texttt{args} in \cref{lst:.pre-commit-yaml-default}.
\index{pre-commit!warning}
\index{warning!pre-commit}
\begin{warning}
Users of \texttt{pre-commit} will, by default, have the \texttt{overwriteIfDifferent}
switch employed. It is assumed that such users have version control in place, and are
intending to overwrite their files.
\end{warning}
\subsection{pre-commit using CPAN}\label{sec:pre-commit-cpan}
To use \texttt{latexindent.pl} with \texttt{pre-commit}, create the file
\texttt{.pre-commit-config.yaml} given in \cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan} in
your git-repository. \index{cpan} \index{git} \index{pre-commit!cpan}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/pre-commit-config-cpan.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{.pre-commit-config.yaml} (cpan)}{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan}
Once created, you should then be able to run the following command:
\begin{commandshell}
pre-commit run --all-files
\end{commandshell}
A few notes about \cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan}:
\begin{itemize}
\item the settings given in \cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan} instruct
\texttt{pre-commit} to use \texttt{CPAN} to get dependencies;
\item this requires \texttt{pre-commit} and \texttt{perl} to be installed on your
system;
\item the \texttt{args} lists selected command-line options; the settings in
\cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan} are equivalent to calling
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -s myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
for each \texttt{.tex} file in your repository;
\item to instruct \texttt{latexindent.pl} to overwrite the files in your repository,
then you can update \cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan} so that
\texttt{args: [-s, -w]}.
\end{itemize}
Naturally you can add options, or omit \texttt{-s} and \texttt{-w}, according to your
preference.
\subsection{pre-commit using conda}\label{sec:pre-commit-conda}
You can also rely on \texttt{conda} (detailed in \cref{sec:app:conda}) instead of
\texttt{CPAN} for all dependencies, including \texttt{latexindent.pl} itself.
\index{conda} \index{git} \index{pre-commit!conda}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/pre-commit-config-conda.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{.pre-commit-config.yaml} (conda)}{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-conda}
Once created, you should then be able to run the following command:
\begin{commandshell}
pre-commit run --all-files
\end{commandshell}
A few notes about \cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan}:
\begin{itemize}
\item the settings given in \cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-conda} instruct
\texttt{pre-commit} to use \texttt{conda} to get dependencies;
\item this requires \texttt{pre-commit} and \texttt{conda} to be installed on your
system;
\item the \texttt{args} lists selected command-line options; the settings in
\cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan} are equivalent to calling
\begin{commandshell}
conda run latexindent.pl -s myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
for each \texttt{.tex} file in your repository;
\item to instruct \texttt{latexindent.pl} to overwrite the files in your repository,
then you can update \cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan} so that
\texttt{args: [-s, -w]}.
\end{itemize}
\subsection{pre-commit using docker}\label{sec:pre-commit-docker}
You can also rely on \texttt{docker} (detailed in \cref{sec:app:docker}) instead of
\texttt{CPAN} for all dependencies, including \texttt{latexindent.pl} itself.
\index{docker} \index{git} \index{pre-commit!docker}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/pre-commit-config-docker.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{.pre-commit-config.yaml} (docker)}{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-docker}
Once created, you should then be able to run the following command:
\begin{commandshell}
pre-commit run --all-files
\end{commandshell}
A few notes about \cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan}:
\begin{itemize}
\item the settings given in \cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-docker} instruct
\texttt{pre-commit} to use \texttt{docker} to get dependencies;
\item this requires \texttt{pre-commit} and \texttt{docker} to be installed on your
system;
\item the \texttt{args} lists selected command-line options; the settings in
\cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan} are equivalent to calling
\begin{commandshell}
docker run -v /path/to/myfile.tex:/myfile.tex ghcr.io/cmhughes/latexindent.pl -s myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
for each \texttt{.tex} file in your repository;
\item to instruct \texttt{latexindent.pl} to overwrite the files in your repository,
then you can update \cref{lst:.pre-commit-config.yaml-cpan} so that
\texttt{args: [-s, -w]}.
\end{itemize}
\subsection{pre-commit example using -l, -m switches}
Let's consider a small example, with local \texttt{latexindent.pl} settings in
\texttt{.latexindent.yaml}.
\begin{example}
We use the local settings given in \cref{lst:.latexindent.yaml}.
\begin{cmhlistings}[style=tcblatex]{\texttt{.latexindent.yaml}}{lst:.latexindent.yaml}
onlyOneBackUp: 1
modifyLineBreaks:
oneSentencePerLine:
manipulateSentences: 1
\end{cmhlistings}
and \texttt{.pre-commit-config.yaml} as in \cref{lst:.latexindent.yaml-switches}:
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/pre-commit-config-demo.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{.pre-commit-config.yaml} (demo)}{lst:.latexindent.yaml-switches}
Now running
\begin{commandshell}
pre-commit run --all-files
\end{commandshell}
is equivalent to running
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l -m -s -w myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
for each \texttt{.tex} file in your repository.
A few notes about \cref{lst:.latexindent.yaml-switches}:
\begin{itemize}
\item the \texttt{-l} option was added to use the local \texttt{.latexindent.yaml}
(where it was specified to only create one back-up file, as \texttt{git}
typically takes care of this when you use \texttt{pre-commit});
\item \texttt{-m} to modify line breaks; in addition to \texttt{-s} to suppress command-line
output, and \texttt{-w} to format files in place.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\section{indentconfig options}\label{app:indentconfig:options}
This section describes the possible locations for the main configuration file,
discussed in \cref{sec:indentconfig}. Thank you to \cite{nehctargl} for this
contribution. \announce{2023-01-01}{indentconfig location options}
The possible locations of \texttt{indentconfig.yaml} are read one after the other, and
reading stops when a valid file is found in one of the paths.
Before stating the list, we give summarise in \cref{tab:environment:summary}.
\begin{table}[!htb]
\centering
\caption{indentconfig environment variable summaries}
\label{tab:environment:summary}
\begin{tabular}{lllll}
\toprule
environment variable & type & Linux & macOS & Windows \\
\midrule
LATEXINDENT\_CONFIG & full path to file & \faCheck & \faCheck & \faCheck \\
XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME & directory path & \faCheck & \faClose & \faClose \\
LOCALAPPDATA & directory path & \faClose & \faClose & \faCheck \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
The following list shows the checked options and is sorted by their respective
priority. It uses capitalized and with a dollar symbol prefixed names (e.g.
\texttt{\$LATEXINDENT\_CONFIG}) to symbolize environment variables. In addition to that
the variable name \texttt{\$homeDir} is used to symbolize your home directory.
\begin{enumerate}
\item The value of the environment variable \texttt{\$LATEXINDENT\_CONFIG} is treated
as highest priority source for the path to the configuration file.
\item The next options are dependent on your operating system:
\begin{itemize}
\item Linux:
\begin{enumerate}
\item The file at
\texttt{\$XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/latexindent/indentconfig.yaml}
\item The file at
\texttt{\$homeDir/.config/latexindent/indentconfig.yaml}
\end{enumerate}
\item Windows:
\begin{enumerate}
\item The file at
\texttt{\$LOCALAPPDATA\textbackslash{}latexindent\textbackslash{}indentconfig.yaml}
\item The file at
\texttt{\$homeDir\textbackslash{}AppData\textbackslash{}Local\textbackslash{}latexindent\textbackslash{}indentconfig.yaml}
\end{enumerate}
\item Mac:
\begin{enumerate}
\item The file at
\texttt{\$homeDir/Library/Preferences/latexindent/indentconfig.yaml}
\end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}
\item The file at \texttt{\$homeDir/indentconfig.yaml}
\item The file at \texttt{\$homeDir/.indentconfig.yaml}
\end{enumerate}
\subsection{Why to change the configuration location}
This is mostly a question about what you prefer, some like to put all their configuration files in their home directory (see \texttt{\$homeDir} above),
whilst some like to sort their configuration. And if you don't care about it, you can just continue using the same defaults.
\subsection{How to change the configuration location}
This depends on your preferred location, if, for example, you would like to set a custom location, you would have to change the \texttt{\$LATEXINDENT\_CONFIG} environment variable.
Although the following example only covers \texttt{\$LATEXINDENT\_CONFIG}, the same
process can be applied to \texttt{\$XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME} or \texttt{\$LOCALAPPDATA}
because both are environment variables. You just have to change the path to your chosen
configuration directory (e.g. \texttt{\$homeDir/.config} or
\texttt{\$homeDir\textbackslash{}AppData\textbackslash{}Local} on Linux or Windows
respectively)
\subsubsection{Linux}
To change \texttt{\$LATEXINDENT\_CONFIG} on Linux you can run the following command in
a terminal after changing the path:
\begin{widepage}
\begin{commandshell}
echo 'export LATEXINDENT_CONFIG="/home/cmh/latexindent-config.yaml"' >> ~/.profile
\end{commandshell}
\end{widepage}
Context: This command adds the given line to your \texttt{.profile} file (which is
commonly stored in \texttt{\$HOME/.profile}). All commands in this file a run after
login, so the environment variable will be set after your next login.
You can check the value of \texttt{\$LATEXINDENT\_CONFIG} by typing
\begin{commandshell}
echo $LATEXINDENT_CONFIG
/home/cmh/latexindent-config.yaml
\end{commandshell}
Linux users interested in \texttt{\$XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME} can explore variations of the
following commands
\begin{commandshell}
echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
echo ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:=$HOME/.config}
echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
mkdir /home/cmh/.config/latexindent
touch /home/cmh/.config/latexindent/indentconfig.yaml
\end{commandshell}
\subsubsection{Windows}
To change \texttt{\$LATEXINDENT\_CONFIG} on Windows you can run the following command
in \texttt{powershell.exe} after changing the path:
\begin{widepage}
\begin{dosprompt}
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable
("LATEXINDENT_CONFIG", "\your\config\path", "User")
\end{dosprompt}
\end{widepage}
This sets the environment variable for every user session.
\subsubsection{Mac}
To change \texttt{\$LATEXINDENT\_CONFIG} on macOS you can run the following command in
a terminal after changing the path:
\begin{commandshell}
echo 'export LATEXINDENT_CONFIG="/your/config/path"' >> ~/.profile
\end{commandshell}
Context: This command adds the line to your \texttt{.profile} file (which is commonly
stored in \texttt{\$HOME/.profile}). All commands in this file a run after login, so
the environment variable will be set after your next login.
\section{paths demonstration}\label{sec:appendix:paths}
As detailed in \vref{subsec:indentconfig} \announce*{2024-04-28}{nested paths
demonstration}, the \texttt{paths} field can be specified in any of your \texttt{YAML}
files.
We will use the file in \cref{lst:paths-demo} for demonstration in what follows.
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/paths-demo.tex}{\texttt{paths-demo.tex}}{lst:paths-demo}
\begin{example}
Consider the settings given in \cref{lst:path1-yaml} and \cref{lst:path2-yaml}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster column skip=.1\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile*[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/path1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{path1.yaml}}{lst:path1-yaml}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*[style=yaml-LST,showspaces=true]{demonstrations/path2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{path2.yaml}}{lst:path2-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Upon calling
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l=path1.yaml paths-demo.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we will receive the output given in \cref{lst:paths-demo-mod1}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile*[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/paths-demo-mod1.tex}{\texttt{paths-demo-mod1.tex}}{lst:paths-demo-mod1}
We note that the settings from \cref{lst:path2-yaml} have been called from
\cref{lst:path1-yaml}.
On inspection of \texttt{indent.log} from the above call, we see the details of this
part of the process given in \cref{lst:path-test1:txt}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/path-test1.txt}{\texttt{path-test1.txt}}{lst:path-test1:txt}
\end{example}
\begin{example}
Consider the settings given in \cref{lst:path3-yaml} to \cref{lst:path5-yaml}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=3,
raster left skip=-3.5cm,
raster right skip=-2cm,
raster column skip=.03\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile*[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/path3.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{path3.yaml}}{lst:path3-yaml}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*[style=yaml-LST,showspaces=true]{demonstrations/path4.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{path4.yaml}}{lst:path4-yaml}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*[style=yaml-LST,showspaces=true]{demonstrations/path5.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{path5.yaml}}{lst:path5-yaml}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Upon calling
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -l=path3.yaml paths-demo.tex
\end{commandshell}
then we will receive the output given in \cref{lst:paths-demo-mod3}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile*[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/paths-demo-mod3.tex}{\texttt{paths-demo-mod3.tex}}{lst:paths-demo-mod3}
We see that \texttt{path3.yaml} calls \texttt{path4.yaml} which in turn calls
\texttt{path5.yaml}.
On inspection of \texttt{indent.log} from the above call, we see the details of this
part of the process given in \cref{lst:path-test3:txt}.
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/path-test3.txt}{\texttt{path-test3.txt}}{lst:path-test3:txt}
\end{example}
\section{logFilePreferences}\label{app:logfile-demo}
\Vref{lst:logFilePreferences} describes the options for customising the information given
to the log file, and we provide a few demonstrations here.
\begin{example}
Let's say that we start with the code given in \cref{lst:simple}, and the settings
specified in \cref{lst:logfile-prefs1-yaml}.
\begin{minipage}{.35\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/simple.tex}{\texttt{simple.tex}}{lst:simple}
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.6\linewidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/logfile-prefs1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{logfile-prefs1.yaml}}{lst:logfile-prefs1-yaml}
\end{minipage}
If we run the following command (noting that \texttt{-t} is active)
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -t -l=logfile-prefs1.yaml simple.tex
\end{commandshell}
then on inspection of \texttt{indent.log} we will find the snippet given in
\cref{lst:indentlog}.
\begin{cmhlistings}[style=tcblatex,morekeywords={TRACE}]{\texttt{indent.log}}{lst:indentlog}
+++++
TRACE: environment found: myenv
No ancestors found for myenv

looking for SPECIAL begin/end
TRACE: Searching myenv for special begin/end (see specialBeginEnd)
TRACE: Searching myenv for optional and mandatory arguments
... no arguments found
-----
\end{cmhlistings}
Notice that the information given about \texttt{myenv} is `framed' using \texttt{+++++}
and \lstinline!-----! respectively.
\end{example}
\section{Encoding}\label{app:encoding}
When using latexindent in different ways on different systems, the range of characters
supported by its switches/flags/options (see \vref{sec:commandline}) may vary.
For the Windows executable file \texttt{latexindent.exe}, its options support UTF-8
characters.
For the Windows Perl script \texttt{latexindent.pl}, its option switch supports the
characters supported by the encoding corresponding to the system code page. You can
check the system code page by running the following command in either \texttt{cmd.exe}
or \texttt{powershell.exe}:
\begin{dosprompt}
chcp
\end{dosprompt}
which may receive the following result
\begin{dosprompt}
Active code page: 936
\end{dosprompt}
and then the characters supported by the code page can be found in \href{Microsoft's
code page identifier
table}{https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/intl/code-page-identifiers}. For
example, the characters supported by the encoding corresponding to code page 936 are:
ANSI/OEM Simplified Chinese (PRC, Singapore); Chinese Simplified (GB2312).
For Ubuntu Linux and macOS users, whether using the Perl script or the executable file,
the options support UTF-8 characters.
\section{dos2unix linebreak adjustment}
\yamltitle{dos2unixlinebreaks}*{integer}
If you use \texttt{latexindent.pl} on a dos-based Windows file on Linux
\announce{2021-06-19}{dos2unix linebreaks} then you may find that trailing horizontal
space is not removed as you hope.
In such a case, you may wish to try setting \texttt{dos2unixlinebreaks} to 1 and
employing, for example, the following command.
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -y="dos2unixlinebreaks:1" myfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
See \cite{bersbersbers} for further dertails.
\section{Differences from Version 2.2 to 3.0}\label{app:differences}
There are a few (small) changes to the interface when comparing Version 2.2 to Version
3.0. Explicitly, in previous versions you might have run, for example,
\index{switches!-o demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -o myfile.tex outputfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
whereas in Version 3.0 you would run any of the following, for example,
\index{switches!-o demonstration}
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl -o=outputfile.tex myfile.tex
latexindent.pl -o outputfile.tex myfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o outputfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -o=outputfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -outputfile=outputfile.tex
latexindent.pl myfile.tex -outputfile outputfile.tex
\end{commandshell}
noting that the \emph{output} file is given \emph{next to} the \texttt{-o} switch.
The fields given in \cref{lst:obsoleteYaml} are \emph{obsolete} from Version 3.0
onwards.
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/obsolete.yaml}[yaml-obsolete]{Obsolete YAML fields from Version 3.0}{lst:obsoleteYaml}
There is a slight difference when specifying indentation after headings; specifically,
we now write \texttt{indentAfterThisHeading} instead of \texttt{indent}. See
\cref{lst:indentAfterThisHeadingOld,lst:indentAfterThisHeadingNew}
\begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/indentAfterThisHeadingOld.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{indentAfterThisHeading} in Version 2.2}{lst:indentAfterThisHeadingOld}
\end{minipage}%
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]{demonstrations/indentAfterThisHeadingNew.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{indentAfterThisHeading} in Version 3.0}{lst:indentAfterThisHeadingNew}
\end{minipage}%
To specify \texttt{noAdditionalIndent} for display-math environments in Version 2.2,
you would write YAML as in \cref{lst:noAdditionalIndentOld}; as of Version 3.0, you
would write YAML as in \cref{lst:indentAfterThisHeadingNew1} or, if you're using
\texttt{-m} switch, \cref{lst:indentAfterThisHeadingNew2}.
