Configurable text indentation

NAME

FBB::Indent - Configurable text indentation

SYNOPSIS

#include <bobcat/indent>

DESCRIPTION

FBB::Indent and its various manipulators offer text-indentation. Text inserted into streams is indented over a fully configurable amount using a set of manipulators and (static) member functions.

NAMESPACE

FBB
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.

INHERITS FROM

-

STATIC MEMBER FUNCTIONS

o

void clear():
Resets the indentation level to zero. The indent manipulator will have no visible effect after calling this member.

o

void dec():
Reduces the indentation level by the current increment (4 by default). The indentation level is never reduces to a negative value.

o

void inc():
Increments the indentation level by the current increment (4 by default).

o

void setInc(size_t inc):
Defines the increment value used with the dec and inc members.

o

void setWidth(size_t width):
Defines the indentation to a specific value width.

MANIPULATORS

The following manipulators (which are not part of the FBB::Indent, class, but are defined in the FBB namespace) can be inserted into the FBB::Indent object:

o

FBB::decindent:
This manipulator will first call Indent::dec. Then FBB::indent is called. The effect will be that the indentation level is reduced just before the indentation is inserted.

o

FBB::incindent:
This manipulator will first call Indent::inc. Then FBB::indent is called. The effect will be that the indentation level is incremented just before the indentation is inserted.

o

FBB::indent:
This manipulator will insert the currently defined number of indentation blanks into the ostream for which it it called.

o

FBB::indentdec:
This manipulator will first call FBB::indent, Then Indent::dec is called. The effect will be that the indentation is inserted first, immediately followed by a reduction of the indentation level.

o

FBB::indentinc:
This manipulator will first call FBB::indent, Then Indent::inc is called. The effect will be that the indentation is inserted first, immediately followed by a increment of the indentation level.

o

FBB::nlindent:
This manipulator will insert a newline character (\n). Then FBB::indent is called, indenting the next line over the currently defined number of blanks.

EXAMPLE

    using namespace std;
    using namespace FBB;
    int main()
    {
        cout << indentinc << "Not indented" <<
                nlindent << "Indenting with 4 blanks\n";
        Indent::clear();
        cout << "No indentation\n";
    }
