Hi all,
Is there any way too 'align' output of the commands which understand
the --template option? For example, with a repository like this:
% keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ hg log
% changeset: 2:41fdbd6ef10f
% tag: tip
% parent: 0:8dd7aa1bf135
% user: Giorgos Keramidas <keramida at ceid.upatras.gr>
% date: Wed Feb 14 14:13:59 2007 +0200
% summary: commit in default branch
%
% changeset: 1:4a9fa0dd6df7
% branch: release-1.0-branch
% user: Giorgos Keramidas <keramida at ceid.upatras.gr>
% date: Wed Feb 14 14:12:52 2007 +0200
% summary: branch alpha
%
% changeset: 0:8dd7aa1bf135
% user: test
% date: Wed Feb 14 14:11:48 2007 +0200
% summary: add alpha
%
% keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$
One can use:
% keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ hg log --template '{rev}:{node|short} {author|email}\n'
% 2:41fdbd6ef10f keramida at ceid.upatras.gr
% 1:4a9fa0dd6df7 keramida at ceid.upatras.gr
% 0:8dd7aa1bf135 test
% keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$
But reverse the order of the template fields, and output is misaligned
in a terminal:
% keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ hg log --template '{author|email} {rev}:{node|short}\n'
% keramida at ceid.upatras.gr 2:41fdbd6ef10f
% keramida at ceid.upatras.gr 1:4a9fa0dd6df7
% test 0:8dd7aa1bf135
% keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$
Using a TAB in the template isn't always a good enough trick:
% keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ hg log --template '{author|email}\t{rev}:{node|short}\n'
% keramida at ceid.upatras.gr 2:41fdbd6ef10f
% keramida at ceid.upatras.gr 1:4a9fa0dd6df7
% test 0:8dd7aa1bf135
% keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$
Is there some way to specify a width for template fields, and then have
the template code left-align, right-align or center text within that
width?
