\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.
\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}.}.
\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}
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}.
\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}
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}.
\texttt{latexindent.pl}%
\announce{2018-01-13}{log file pattern layout for log file} uses the \texttt{log4perl} module \cite{log4perl}
to handle the creation of the logfile. You can specify the layout of the information
given in the logfile using any of the \texttt{Log Layouts} detailed at
\cite{log4perl}.
\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}.
\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}.
\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}).
\yamltitle{noIndentBlock}*{fields}
If you have a block of code that you don't want \texttt{latexindent.pl} to touch (even if
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.
\begin{cmhlistings}[style=demo,escapeinside={(*@}{@*)}]{\texttt{noIndentBlock} demonstration}{lst:noIndentBlockdemo}
%(*@@*) \begin{noindent}
this code
won't
be touched
by
latexindent.pl!
%(*@@*)\end{noindent}
\end{cmhlistings}
\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{minipage}{.4\textwidth}

\end{minipage}%
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
\begin{yaml}[numbers=none]{removeTrailingWhitespace (alt)}[before=\centering]{lst:removeTrailingWhitespace-alt}
removeTrailingWhitespace: 1
\end{yaml}
\end{minipage}%
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}.
\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}
\yamltitle{defaultIndent}*{horizontal space}
This is the default indentation (\lstinline!\t! means a tab, and is the default
value) used in the absence of other details for the command or environment we are working
with; see \texttt{indentRules} in \vref{sec:noadd-indent-rules} for more details.
If you're interested in experimenting with \texttt{latexindent.pl} then you can
\emph{remove} all indentation by setting \texttt{defaultIndent: ""}.
\yamltitle{lookForAlignDelims}*{fields}\label{yaml:lookforaligndelims}
This contains a list of environments and/or commands 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.
\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}
The environments specified in this field will be operated on in a special way by
\texttt{latexindent.pl}. In particular, it will try and align each column by its
alignment tabs. 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}.
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}).
\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, 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.
\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 delimeters 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 back slash}{alignFinalDoubleBackSlash} optionally specifies if the
\emph{final} double back slash 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 delimeter (default: \lstinline3 '(?<!\\)(&)'3);
\item \announce*{2020-03-21}{delimiter justification}{delimiterJustification} optionally specifies the justification
for the alignment delimeters (default: left); note that this feature is only useful if
you have delimiters of different lengths in the same column, discussed in
\cref{sec:delimiter-reg-ex}.
\end{itemize}
We will explore most of these features using the file \texttt{tabular2.tex} in
\cref{lst:tabular2} (which contains a \lstinline!\multicolumn! command), and the YAML files in \crefrange{lst:tabular2YAML}{lst:tabular8YAML}; we will explore
\texttt{alignFinalDoubleBackSlash} in \cref{lst:tabular4}; the \texttt{dontMeasure} feature
will be described in \cref{sec:dontMeasure}, and \texttt{delimiterRegEx} in
\cref{sec:delimiter-reg-ex}.

Notice in particular:
\begin{itemize}
\item in both \cref{lst:tabular2-default,lst:tabular2-mod2} all rows have been aligned at the ampersand, even those
that do not contain the maximum number of ampersands (3 ampersands, in this case);
\item in \cref{lst:tabular2-default} the columns have been aligned at the ampersand;
\item in \cref{lst:tabular2-mod2} the \lstinline!\multicolumn! command has grouped the
$2$ columns beneath \emph{and} above it, because
\texttt{multiColumnGrouping} is set to $1$ in \cref{lst:tabular2YAML};
\item in \cref{lst:tabular2-mod3} rows~3 and~6 have \emph{not} been aligned at the
ampersand, because \texttt{alignRowsWithoutMaxDelims} has been to set to $0$ in
\cref{lst:tabular3YAML}; however, the \lstinline!\\! \emph{have} still
been aligned;
\item in \cref{lst:tabular2-mod4} the columns beneath and above the \lstinline!\multicolumn!
commands have been grouped (because \texttt{multiColumnGrouping} is set to
$1$), and there are at least $4$ spaces
\emph{before} each aligned ampersand because \texttt{spacesBeforeAmpersand} is set to
$4$;
\item in \cref{lst:tabular2-mod5} the columns beneath and above the \lstinline!\multicolumn!
commands have been grouped (because \texttt{multiColumnGrouping} is set to
$1$), and there are at least $4$ spaces
\emph{after} each aligned ampersand because \texttt{spacesAfterAmpersand} is set to
$4$;
\item in \cref{lst:tabular2-mod6} the \lstinline!\\! have \emph{not} been
aligned, because \texttt{alignDoubleBackSlash} is set to \texttt{0}, otherwise the
output is the same as \cref{lst:tabular2-mod2};
\item in \cref{lst:tabular2-mod7} the \lstinline!\\! \emph{have} been
aligned, and because \texttt{spacesBeforeDoubleBackSlash} is set to \texttt{0}, there are
no spaces ahead of them; the output is otherwise the same as \cref{lst:tabular2-mod2}.
\item in \cref{lst:tabular2-mod8} the cells have been \emph{right}-justified; note
that cells above and below the \lstinline!\multicol! statements have still been group
correctly, because of the settings in \cref{lst:tabular2YAML}.
\end{itemize}
We explore%
\announce*{2020-03-21}{alignFinalDoubleBackSlash demonstration} the
\texttt{alignFinalDoubleBackSlash} feature by using the file in \cref{lst:tabular4}. Upon
running the following commands
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabular4.tex -o=+-default
latexindent.pl tabular4.tex -o=+-FDBS -y="lookForAlignDelims:tabular:alignFinalDoubleBackSlash:1"
\end{commandshell}
then we receive the respective outputs given in \cref{lst:tabular4-default} and
\cref{lst:tabular4-FDBS}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=3,
raster left skip=-3.75cm,
raster right skip=-2cm,]
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabular4.tex}{\texttt{tabular4.tex}}{lst:tabular4}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabular4-default.tex}{\texttt{tabular4-default.tex}}{lst:tabular4-default}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabular4-FDBS.tex}{\texttt{tabular4-FDBS.tex}}{lst:tabular4-FDBS}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that in:
\begin{itemize}
\item \cref{lst:tabular4-default}, by default, the \emph{first} set of double back
slashes in the first row of the \texttt{tabular} environment have been used for
alignment;
\item \cref{lst:tabular4-FDBS}, the \emph{final} set of double back slashes in the
first row have been used, because we specified \texttt{alignFinalDoubleBackSlash} as 1.
\end{itemize}
As of Version 3.0, the alignment routine works on mandatory and optional arguments within
commands, and also within `special' code blocks (see \texttt{specialBeginEnd} on
\cpageref{yaml:specialBeginEnd}); for example, assuming that you have a command called
\lstinline!\matrix! and that it is populated within \texttt{lookForAlignDelims} (which it is, by default), and that
you run the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl matrix1.tex
\end{commandshell}
then the before-and-after results shown in \cref{lst:matrixbefore,lst:matrixafter} are achievable by
default.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/matrix1.tex}{\texttt{matrix1.tex}}{lst:matrixbefore}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/matrix1-default.tex}{\texttt{matrix1.tex} default output}{lst:matrixafter}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
If you have blocks of code that you wish to align at the \& character that are
\emph{not} wrapped in, for example, \lstinline!\begin{tabular}! \ldots
\lstinline!\end{tabular}!, then you can use the mark up illustrated in
\cref{lst:alignmentmarkup}; the default output is shown in \cref{lst:alignmentmarkup-default}. Note
that the \lstinline!%*! must be next to each other, but that there can be any
number of spaces (possibly none) between the
\lstinline!*! and \lstinline!\begin{tabular}!; note also that you may use any
environment name that you have specified in \texttt{lookForAlignDelims}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/align-block.tex}{\texttt{align-block.tex}}{lst:alignmentmarkup}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/align-block-default.tex}{\texttt{align-block.tex} default output}{lst:alignmentmarkup-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
With reference to \vref{tab:code-blocks} and the, yet undiscussed, fields of
\texttt{noAdditionalIndent} and \texttt{indentRules}
(see \vref{sec:noadd-indent-rules}), these comment-marked blocks are
considered \texttt{environments}.
\subsection{lookForAlignDelims: the dontMeasure feature}\label{sec:dontMeasure}
The%
\announce*{2020-03-21}{don't measure feature} \texttt{lookForAlignDelims}
field can, optionally, receive the \texttt{dontMeasure} option which can be specified
in a few different ways. We will explore this feature in relation to the code given in
\cref{lst:tabular-DM}; the default output is shown in \cref{lst:tabular-DM-default}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabular-DM.tex}{\texttt{tabular-DM.tex}}{lst:tabular-DM}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabular-DM-default.tex}{\texttt{tabular-DM.tex} default output}{lst:tabular-DM-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
The \texttt{dontMeasure} field can be specified as \texttt{largest}, and in
which case, the largest element will not be measured; with reference to the YAML file
given in \cref{lst:dontMeasure1}, we can run the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabular-DM.tex -l=dontMeasure1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
and receive the output given in \cref{lst:tabular-DM-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabular-DM-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tabular-DM.tex} using \cref{lst:dontMeasure1}}{lst:tabular-DM-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/dontMeasure1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{dontMeasure1.yaml}}{lst:dontMeasure1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that the \emph{largest} column entries have not contributed to the
measuring routine.
The \texttt{dontMeasure} field can also be specified in the form demonstrated in
\cref{lst:dontMeasure2}. On running the following commands,
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabular-DM.tex -l=dontMeasure2.yaml
\end{commandshell}
we receive the output in \cref{lst:tabular-DM-mod2}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabular-DM-mod2.tex}{\texttt{tabular-DM.tex} using \cref{lst:dontMeasure2} or \cref{lst:dontMeasure3}}{lst:tabular-DM-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/dontMeasure2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{dontMeasure2.yaml}}{lst:dontMeasure2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that in \cref{lst:dontMeasure2} we have specified entries not to be measured, one
entry per line.
The \texttt{dontMeasure} field can also be specified in the forms demonstrated in
\cref{lst:dontMeasure3} and \cref{lst:dontMeasure4}. Upon running the commands
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabular-DM.tex -l=dontMeasure3.yaml
latexindent.pl tabular-DM.tex -l=dontMeasure4.yaml
\end{commandshell}
we receive the output given in \cref{lst:tabular-DM-mod3}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=3,
raster left skip=-3.5cm,
raster right skip=-2cm,
raster column skip=.03\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabular-DM-mod3.tex}{\texttt{tabular-DM.tex} using \cref{lst:dontMeasure3} or \cref{lst:dontMeasure3}}{lst:tabular-DM-mod3}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/dontMeasure3.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{dontMeasure3.yaml}}{lst:dontMeasure3}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/dontMeasure4.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{dontMeasure4.yaml}}{lst:dontMeasure4}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that in:
\begin{itemize}
\item \cref{lst:dontMeasure3} we have specified entries not to be measured, each one has a
\emph{string} in the \texttt{this}
field, together with an optional specification of \texttt{applyTo} as
\texttt{cell};
\item \cref{lst:dontMeasure4} we have specified entries not to be measured as a
\emph{regular expression} using
the \texttt{regex} field, together with an optional specification of
\texttt{applyTo} as \texttt{cell} field, together with an optional
specification of \texttt{applyTo} as \texttt{cell}.
\end{itemize}
In both cases, the default value of \texttt{applyTo} is \texttt{cell},
and does not need to be specified.
We may also specify the \texttt{applyTo} field as \texttt{row}, a
demonstration of which is given in \cref{lst:dontMeasure5}; upon running
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabular-DM.tex -l=dontMeasure5.yaml
\end{commandshell}
we receive the output in \cref{lst:tabular-DM-mod5}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabular-DM-mod5.tex}{\texttt{tabular-DM.tex} using \cref{lst:dontMeasure5}}{lst:tabular-DM-mod5}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/dontMeasure5.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{dontMeasure5.yaml}}{lst:dontMeasure5}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Finally, the \texttt{applyTo} field can be specified as \texttt{row},
together with a \texttt{regex} expression. For example, for the settings given
in \cref{lst:dontMeasure6}, upon running
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabular-DM.tex -l=dontMeasure6.yaml
\end{commandshell}
we receive the output in \cref{lst:tabular-DM-mod6}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabular-DM-mod6.tex}{\texttt{tabular-DM.tex} using \cref{lst:dontMeasure6}}{lst:tabular-DM-mod6}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/dontMeasure6.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{dontMeasure6.yaml}}{lst:dontMeasure6}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\subsection{lookForAlignDelims: the delimiterRegEx and delimiterJustification feature}\label{sec:delimiter-reg-ex}
The delimiter alignment%
\announce*{2020-03-21}{delimiterRegEx feature} will, by
default, align code blocks at the ampersand character. The behaviour is controlled by the
\texttt{delimiterRegEx} field within \texttt{lookForAlignDelims}; the default value is
\lstinline3'(?<!\\)(&)'3, which can be read as: \emph{an ampersand, as long as it is not immediately preceeded by a backslash}.
\begin{warning}
Important: note the `capturing' parenthesis in the \lstinline!(&)! which are necessary; if you
intend to customise this field, then be sure to include them appropriately.
\end{warning}
We demonstrate how to customise this with respect to the code given in
\cref{lst:tabbing}; the default output from \lstinline!latexindent.pl! is given in
\cref{lst:tabbing-default}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabbing.tex}{\texttt{tabbing.tex}}{lst:tabbing}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabbing-default.tex}{\texttt{tabbing.tex} default output}{lst:tabbing-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Let's say that we wish to align the code at either the \lstinline!\=! or
\lstinline!\>!. We employ the settings given in \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx1} and run
the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabbing.tex -l=delimiterRegEx1.yaml
\end{commandshell}
to receive the output given in \cref{lst:tabbing-mod1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabbing-mod1.tex}{\texttt{tabbing.tex} using \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx1}}{lst:tabbing-mod1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{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}
We can explore \texttt{delimiterRegEx} a little further using the settings in
\cref{lst:delimiterRegEx2} and run the command
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabbing.tex -l=delimiterRegEx2.yaml
\end{commandshell}
to receive the output given in \cref{lst:tabbing-mod2}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabbing-mod2.tex}{\texttt{tabbing.tex} using \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx2}}{lst:tabbing-mod2}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/delimiterRegEx2.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{delimiterRegEx2.yaml}}{lst:delimiterRegEx2}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
We note that only the \lstinline!\>! have been aligned.
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
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabbing.tex -l=delimiterRegEx3.yaml
\end{commandshell}
to receive the output given in \cref{lst:tabbing-mod3}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabbing-mod3.tex}{\texttt{tabbing.tex} using \cref{lst:delimiterRegEx3}}{lst:tabbing-mod3}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/delimiterRegEx3.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{delimiterRegEx3.yaml}}{lst:delimiterRegEx3}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
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
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabbing1.tex -l=delimiterRegEx4.yaml -o=+-mod4
\end{commandshell}
we receive the output in \cref{lst:tabbing1-mod4}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}[raster columns=3,
raster left skip=-3.5cm,
raster right skip=-2cm,
raster column skip=.03\linewidth]
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabbing1.tex}{\texttt{tabbing1.tex}}{lst:tabbing1}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabbing1-mod4.tex}{\texttt{tabbing1-mod4.tex}}{lst:tabbing1-mod4}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/delimiterRegEx4.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{delimiterRegEx4.yaml}}{lst:delimiterRegEx4}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
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
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl tabbing1.tex -l=delimiterRegEx5.yaml -o=+-mod5
\end{commandshell}
gives the output in \cref{lst:tabbing1-mod5}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{demonstrations/tabbing1-mod5.tex}{\texttt{tabbing1-mod5.tex}}{lst:tabbing1-mod5}
\cmhlistingsfromfile*{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!
\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.tex}{\texttt{items1.tex}}{lst:itemsbefore}
\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%
\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}.
\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.
A demonstration of the before-and-after results are shown in \cref{lst:specialbefore,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}
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.
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}
\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
\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}
You can,optionally, specify%
\announce{2018-04-27}{update to specialBeginEnd} the
\texttt{middle} field for anything that you specify in \texttt{specialBeginEnd}.
For example, let's consider the \texttt{.tex} file in \cref{lst:special2}.
\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
\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/middle.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{middle.yaml}}{lst:middle-yaml}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special2-mod1.tex}{\texttt{special2.tex} using \cref{lst:middle-yaml}}{lst:special2-mod1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/middle1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{middle1.yaml}}{lst:middle1-yaml}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special2-mod2.tex}{\texttt{special2.tex} using \cref{lst:middle1-yaml}}{lst:special2-mod2}
\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}
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}.
For example, beginning with the code in \cref{lst:special3-mod1} and the YAML in
\cref{lst:special-verb1-yaml}, and running
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl special3.tex -l=special-verb1
\end{commandshell}
then the output in \cref{lst:special3-mod1} is unchanged.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special-verb1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{special-verb1.yaml}}{lst:special-verb1-yaml}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/special3-mod1.tex}{\texttt{special3.tex} and output using \cref{lst:special-verb1-yaml}}{lst:special3-mod1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
\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}).
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[style=yaml-LST]*{demonstrations/headings1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{headings1.yaml}}{lst:headings1yaml}
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/headings1.tex}{\texttt{headings1.tex}}{lst:headings1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
If you run the command
\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}
\end{minipage}%
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showtabs=true]{demonstrations/headings1-mod2.tex}{\texttt{headings1.tex} second modification}{lst:headings1-mod2}
\end{minipage}
Now say that you modify the \texttt{YAML} from \cref{lst:headings1yaml} so that
the \texttt{paragraph} \texttt{level} is \texttt{1}; after
running
\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.
\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.
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]
\cmhlistingsfromfile{demonstrations/mult-nested.tex}{\texttt{mult-nested.tex}}{lst:mult-nested}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showtabs=true]{demonstrations/mult-nested-default.tex}{\texttt{mult-nested.tex} default output}{lst:mult-nested-default}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
Now say that, for example, you have the \texttt{max-indentation1.yaml} from
\cref{lst:max-indentation1yaml} and that you run the following command:
\begin{commandshell}
latexindent.pl mult-nested.tex -l=max-indentation1
\end{commandshell}
You should receive the output shown in \cref{lst:mult-nested-max-ind1}.
\begin{cmhtcbraster}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[style=yaml-LST]*{demonstrations/max-indentation1.yaml}[yaml-TCB]{\texttt{max-indentation1.yaml}}{lst:max-indentation1yaml}
\cmhlistingsfromfile[showspaces=true]{demonstrations/mult-nested-max-ind1.tex}{\texttt{mult-nested.tex} using \cref{lst:max-indentation1yaml}}{lst:mult-nested-max-ind1}
\end{cmhtcbraster}
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}
As of Version 3.0, \texttt{latexindent.pl} processes documents using code blocks; each of
these are shown in \cref{tab:code-blocks}.
