Formatter2: formatting merging [message #1695153]

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to merge the formatting attributes
of two consecutive semantic regions.
Something like that:

region.append[oneSpace]
nextRegion.prepend[noSpace]

So nextRegion would override oneSpace with noSpace.

When I test that, it complains of the impossibility to merge the two.
Is it a normal behavior ?

Thank you !

Aurel

You may want to override
org.eclipse.xtext.formatting2.AbstractFormatter2.createHiddenRegionFormattingMerger()

That should do the trick.

Best,
Sebastian
