Compressing multiple blank spaces between words into one #336

Closed musm closed 2 years ago

musm commented 2 years ago

Is there a simple yaml setting I could turn on to compress spaces between words, such that

hello     world, my      name is    Joe

to 

hello world, my name is Joe
cmhughes commented 2 years ago

Yes, absolutely!

Try the following

replacements:
  -
    substitution: s/([a-zA-Z0-9.}{])\h{2,}([a-zA-Z0-9.}{])/$1 $2/sg
    when: before
  -
    substitution: s/([a-zA-Z0-9.()}{])\h{2,}([a-zA-Z0-9.()}{]|(?:\\(?!\\)))/$1 $2/sg
    when: after

You'll need to use one of the replacement switches, for example

latexindent.pl - rv myfile.tex

Thank you @cmhughes, my regex attempts to get this to work weren't successful.

I frequently type in extraneous additional whitespaces. I wonder if something like this shouldn't just be an option, but perhaps more effort than it's worth?

The substitution for the before case makes sense. What is the substitution handling for the after case?

cmhughes commented 2 years ago

The second one can be helpful if text wrapping is active.
