Syntax-based indentation for Sublime Text
This package is a proof of concept that may be unsuited to production use. Use with caution.
Sublime's built-in indentation system (inherited from TextMate) uses regular expressions to indent and unindent lines. Smart Indent is a more sophisticated approach that uses scope information supplied by the current syntax definition.
Smart Indent should work well for syntaxes that:
- Supply plenty of meta scopes.
- Mark closing punctuation with
end. - Do not have significant whitespace.
In some languages, such as Python, this approach is likely to work extremely poorly.
Clone this package using git. I will probably submit it to Package Control eventually.
The Smart Indent command is bound by default to ctrl+F9. Running this command will reindent the current view.
