Perhaps a new flag could + be -t? + + +II: Transform tabs into spaces. At the moment tabs remain as tabs when centered + which causes some visual issues. For example when centering figure A you + would expect to get figure B, but you currently get figure C. The + underscores are a placeholder for a ‹TAB› character. The current + functionality if desired could be provided via a command-line flag such as + -r. + + Figure A: + /------------------------------------------\ + | 1234567890 | + | ________12 | + \------------------------------------------/ + + Figure B: + /------------------------------------------\ + | 1234567890 | + | ________12 | + \------------------------------------------/ + + Figure C: + /------------------------------------------\ + | 1234567890 | + | ________12 | + \------------------------------------------/ + + +III: Add a new flag for assuming all lines are of the same length as the longest + line. At the moment each line is centered individually, and this means + that figure A would get transformed into figure B after being passed + through center(1). We would however often times prefer to have it be + transformed into figure C, such as when centering code, or a manual page. + This new flag could potentially be -l. + + Figure A: + /------------------------------------------\ + | int | + | main(int argc, char **argv) | + | { | + | return EXIT_SUCCESS; | + | } | + \------------------------------------------/ + + Figure B: + /------------------------------------------\ + | int | + | main(int argc, char **argv) | + | { | + | return EXIT_SUCCESS; | + | } | + \------------------------------------------/ + + Figure C: + /------------------------------------------\ + | int | + | main(int argc, char **argv) | + | { | + | return EXIT_SUCCESS; | + | } | + \------------------------------------------/ |
