Yes, you should be able to use the tokens made by RSTA. Get the tokens for a line via:

[code]
Token tokenList = textArea.getTokenListForLine(int line);
[/code]

This is a linked list of tokens.

Hi, I think about implementing a SQL code formatter myself.
Do you think it is possible to reuse the tokens generated by SQLTokenMaker.java for this task?

Thanks and kind regards,

Hi Robert,

I think the idea of allowing user to define their formatter library would be good. Here are some libraries shared by other people [url]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/996646/stand-alone-java-code-formatter-beautifier-pretty-printer[/url]. I was thinking of using Eclipse' Source format, which actually has a lot of customizable features like line width etc., but I'm not sure how we can port these things to RText. Thanks

Hi Kenston,

There aren't currently plans to add a beautifier library. In the [url=http://fifesoft.com/rtext/]RText[/url] editor which uses RSTA, there will be a beautifier plug-in in the next release, though it will likely only handle HTML/XML via [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtidy]JTidy[/url], a Java port of HTMLTidy.

Do you know of high-quality beautifiers for other languages? Preferably (though not required to be) written in Java for in-process integration? There are a few for Java, but it appears that many are no longer maintained and don't handle Java 5 syntax properly. One project that looks promising for Java is [url=http://www.jindent.com/]JIndent[/url], but unfortunately I could not ship the library with RText (or an RSTA add-on), judging from the license - I would require the user to download it themselves and drop it into a certain location for the add-on to pick up.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hello.

Are there any plans of integrating a code beautifier/formatter which will auto-format the code, placing necessary indentions, new lines, etc. for different syntax?

Thanks!
