Identation in xtend template with tracing [message #1858485]

Hi

I generate different files with same xtend template.
Some of them need to have 3-space indentation, some need tab space indentation.
Currently I have had some post processing, that replaces the leading tabs from the template with the spaces needed.

However, now I want to make use of the tracing feature of xtend.

What is a good strategy now?

1. Also post process the .trace file, and adjust the offsets, according to the other post processing?
2. Somehow make the template configurable?
3. Something completely different?

regards
Frank

i dont know of anybody who has ever done this.
maybe you can do the postprocessing based on the IGeneratorNode tree. (GeneratorNodeProcessor)

e.g. org.eclipse.xtext.generator.trace.node.IndentNode

or you used different GeneratorNodeExtensions
at different places
