[xpand] fixed indentation [message #541467]

Is there any way to say to XPAND2, that I want a text to be located at at least column number NN?

I would like to have some basic indentation for variable assignment. At the moment I use a self-written function that takes the column number up to the inserted text, the inserted text, and the desired column. Like this:

«FOREACH this.getParameters() AS p-»
    «p.getName()»«spacesToPos(4, f.getName(), 21)» = «f.getValue()»); 
«ENDFOREACH-»

But this solution is not very good, I would like a solution that doesn't need the programmer to count spaces and provide the text two times. Something like

«FOREACH this.getParameters() AS p-»
    «p.getName()»«spacesToPos(21)» = «f.getValue()»); 
«ENDFOREACH-»

Is this possible?

hi,

i guess this is something one / i would rather do in a postprocessor especially cause this is a very seldom usecase.
