When working collaboratively on EOL-based projects, it would be nice to have common code layout, which essentially requires a formatter. Does such a thing exist, or in lieu of that, are there rule sets for any existing formatter to canonize source code?

After all, indentation is a readability aid for the mental model ;)

I am using uncrustify at the moment, but it does not match up very well. Maybe it can be made to work?

Hi Jörn,

There's no support for code formatting in Epsilon's development tools, and I'm not aware of any rule sets for existing formatters either I'm afraid.

The closest thing we have is unparsers [1] for some of the Epsilon languages, but they are not configurable (e.g. tab size) and they don't retain comments.

Best,
Dimitris
