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; |
| } |
\------------------------------------------/
