Scripting: formatlist()

[altoclef]

Please would it be possible to either:

• change the formatlist() t format switch to trim all whitespace (tabs and spaces), or

• add a new switch which would do so?

This is so I could indent with tabs not multiple spaces, so that it matches my coding style - see image where item1 is shown as I would prefer to indent, but item2 is as I have to do so currently.

You could do what you've asked for with a regexreplace() instead...

Thank you for the suggestion. I've done this, which works for me:

If there is a more elegant solution please let me know.

Code: Select all

    $foo = regexreplace(
        <<<'

            item1



			item2

        '
        , "^\s+|^(\r?\n|$)"
        );
    text $foo;

Ah, I see - you meant just using regexreplace(). I didn't realise that.

I shall have a look at your solution to fully understand it.

Thank you.
