Auto indentation not working as expected

[DanielSiepmann]

Thanks for this plugin.

I just found a small glitch.

Given the following TypoScript:

page = PAGE
page {
    10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
    10 {
    }
}

The autoformat: gg=G results in:

page = PAGE
page {
    10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
        10 {
        }
}

Where I expect the above input to be the result.

Thank you for the hint. Your issue is about indentation, while the plugin is for highlighting.

Is there a relation? I.e. does the indentation draw information from the highlighting?

[DanielSiepmann]

It's not related to Syntax itself, but might be provided by the plugin for TypoScript.

I still don't get the error why the indentation does not work. Just tried to figure it out by reading the docs:

• https://neovim.io/doc/user/indent.html
• http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Indenting_source_code#File_type_based_indentation

Looks like with 'smartindent' on, it should work, but it doesn't.

At least it should be possible to define a function for indentation via https://neovim.io/doc/user/options.html#'indentexpr' . This way it should be possible to fix the indentation problem at least.

I tested this. Both cindent and smartindent show this behaviour. You are right, that typoscript indentation would make a great improvement to this plugin.

Any idea which language is similar so that one could copy from it? Or did you find other typoscript plugins already shipping indentation?

[DanielSiepmann]

I'm not aware of any other TypoScript plugin for Vim. Vim is not that common in TYPO3 context.

For me it's a smaller set of PSR-2 rules for PHP, where we also have { on a line for classes and method where the indent level is increased on the next line.

Looks like the default is to indent the line containing the { instead. Maybe I find some time to play around with the settings to find a solution.

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/tree/master/runtime/indent contains a list of supported indentation configurations for languages.

[elmar-hinz]

There are plenty of indent files for other languages. Examples:

• https://github.com/vim-ruby/vim-ruby/blob/master/indent/ruby.vim
• https://github.com/vim-perl/vim-perl/blob/dev/indent/perl.vim
• https://github.com/pangloss/vim-javascript/blob/master/indent/javascript.vim

I am sure typescript just needs a very small script. It's mainly about the curly braces, the round brackets of multiline text and the multiline comments.

[elmar-hinz]

Go could be a starting point. Braces grammar and quite small.
