✨ FBB::Indent ✨

okay bestie, welcome to FBB::Indent — that's a section 3 bobcat manual page, Text Indentation flavored, and it's literally the cutest little configurable text indenter you ever met. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

FBB::Indent — configurable text indentation, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <bobcat/indent>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So FBB::Indent and its lil squad of manipulators are all about text-indentation. Text you shove into streams gets indented by a fully configurable amount, using a set of manipulators plus (static) member functions. it's giving "control freak but make it fashion" 💅

💜 NAMESPACE 💜

FBB

Every single constructor, member, operator and manipulator mentioned in this man-page is defined in the namespace FBB. periodt.

🌈 INHERITS FROM 🌈

-

(nope, nothing. it's free. main character energy, no parent class. 👑)

⭐ STATIC MEMBER FUNCTIONS ⭐

  • void clear() — resets the indentation level to zero. and jsyk, after you call this the indent manipulator will have no visible effect. it's done, it said goodbye 🫶
  • void dec() — reduces the indentation level by the current increment (which is 4 by default). and bestie, the indentation level is never reduces to a negative value — so don't try it, it will not go there 💀
  • void inc() — increments the indentation level by the current increment (again, 4 by default). slay.
  • void setInc(size_t inc) — defines the increment value that gets used with the dec and inc members. you're the one setting the rules now.
  • void setWidth(size_t width) — defines the indentation to a specific value width. direct. precise. iconic.

💅 MANIPULATORS 💅

okay so these manipulators are not part of the FBB::Indent class — nope — they're defined in the FBB namespace. but you can absolutely insert them into your FBB::Indent object. here's the whole lineup:

  • FBB::decindent — this one calls Indent::dec first. then FBB::indent gets called. the effect? the indentation level gets reduced just before the indentation is inserted.
  • FBB::incindent — this one calls Indent::inc first. then FBB::indent gets called. the effect? the indentation level gets incremented just before the indentation is inserted.
  • FBB::indent — inserts the currently defined number of indentation blanks into the ostream for which it it called. (yes, "it it". the original said it it. we love a typo moment, it's part of the lore 💀)
  • FBB::indentdec — this one calls FBB::indent first. then Indent::dec gets called. the effect? the indentation gets inserted first, immediately followed by a reduction of the indentation level.
  • FBB::indentinc — this one calls FBB::indent first. then Indent::inc gets called. the effect? the indentation gets inserted first, immediately followed by a increment of the indentation level.
  • FBB::nlindent — inserts a newline character (\n). then FBB::indent gets called, indenting the next line over the currently defined number of blanks. chef's kiss 😭

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

using namespace std;
using namespace FBB;
int main()
{
    cout << indentinc << "Not indented" <<
            nlindent << "Indenting with 4 blanks\n";
    Indent::clear();
    cout << "No indentation\n";
}
