GitHub issues could be used, but the main repo is not on GitHub so no thanks. --- TODO | 70 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 70 insertions(+) create mode 100644 TODO (limited to 'TODO') diff --git a/TODO b/TODO new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2650495 --- /dev/null +++ b/TODO @@ -0,0 +1,70 @@ +Checklist: +[ ] I +[ ] II +[ ] III + + +I: Add a flag that allows the user to specify a tab width. At the moment tab + widths are hardcoded to 8 in the center() function. 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; | + | } | + \------------------------------------------/ -- cgit v1.2.3
