Padding values in the formatter [message #647261]

Hi,

For getting nice results in the serialized models, we would like to not
just do line wraps and indentation, but also padding of values.

Here is an example for illustration:

Now:
MyClass {
aa : int
b : String
cccc : long
}

What we want instead is:
MyClass {
aa : int
b : String
cccc : long
}

Is there any chance to get this result with Xtext? I couldn't figure out
how this could be possibly done...

Thanks in advance for any hints!
Kai

Hi,

I don't think this will work out of the box. You will have to implement
your own serialiser/formatter for that.

Hi Kai!

Yes, the configuration based approach does not allow that currently. I also think this is a really nice feature, also column-based alignemnt for tabular texts. Maybe you could raise a feature request?

Best wishes,
