Perltidy TODO List
This is a partial "wish-list" of features to add and things to do. All
of these are of interest, but there is no particular schedule for
implementing them.
Improved Vertical Alignment
There are many opportunities for improving vertical alignment.
Documentation
A FAQ is needed to explain some of the more subtle formatting issues,
and to give examples of different styles.
The -formatter callback object documentation is incomplete.
HTML writer
The HTML writer does not colorize interpolated identifiers in here
documents or quoted strings. The tokenizer outputs interpolation
information for here docs; it still needs to be updated to do this for
multi-line quotes. Then code needs to be written to scan for and markup
identifiers.
Automatic style detection
It would be nice to write a program to read a sample of perl code and
write an approximate .perltidyrc file for that style.
Things which have been suggested but will not be done
Recursive file processing
A -r flag might be nice, but this is probably best handled by an
exterior shell script.
