Artistic Style indenter/formatter

[Tal Davidson]

Hi,

Would there be any interest from the KDevelop team to enable indentation and
formatting
of source code through KDevelop?

Main reasons to want indentation/formatting abilities:
1. To set the whitespace properly (code that looks great on one editor may
look awful in another due to the combination of both tabs and spaces in the
codes whitespace...)
2. To allow each developer to look at code in the format  most natural to
him/her...
3. When several programmers look at each other's code (e.g. via CVS...),
each one can reformat the code he/she is looking at to their preferred
format, and then send the code back to CVS reformatted back to some standard
format.

I have developed an indenter/formatter for  C++/C/Java source code called
ARTISTIC STYLE (which is open source under either GPL or the Artistic
License...)
After around a year and a half of development, it is currently quite stable
and useful ,
and is enjoying a quickly enlarging number users, bug reporters and code
contributers.

Since I am very interested in properly learning QT/KDE, interlacing artistic
style into KDevelop seems like an interesting
and productive path to follow...

If there is interest in this combination from the KDevelop team
PLEASE LET ME KNOW !

In the mean time:
