Hi, how hard it would be to modify BlueInk formatter to inline dynamic array in some situations? Currently BL places each element of dynamic array at separate line ~~~~~~~~~~ v addAll: {l1. l2. l3} ~~~~~~~~~~ and what I want is to inline them if the length of the element names is small (1-3 characters maybe)... ~~~~~~~~~ v addAll: { l1 . l2 . l3 } ~~~~~~~~~ For longer names I want to keep the current behavior. Obviously this would have to be configurable, however as I have no knowledge of BL internals I don't even know where to start... Any pointers appreciated, Peter
Hi, It could be cool yep, I will do it. So we say 3 characters as limit ? Franck

Hi,

~~~~~~~~~~ v addAll: {l1. l2. l3} ~~~~~~~~~~
and what I want is to inline them if the length of the element names is small (1-3 characters maybe)...
~~~~~~~~~ v addAll: { l1 . l2 . l3 } ~~~~~~~~~
For longer names I want to keep the current behavior.

I don't mind digging into it provided I have some pointers. :)
So we say 3 characters as limit ?
3 characters is a good start, but I wonder... because there may be other use-cases. For example "all elements are symbols AND it all fits on a single line" { #smb1 . #smb2 . #smb3 } or "all elements are sends to the same object AND it all fits on a single line" { TextEmphasis bold . TextEmphasis italic } The ideal scenario is that we can A/B test this -- implement it all and see how each scenario behaves in real world, but that is perhaps a lot of work. Speaking of which... I'm thinking that I could analyze existing code and see how these things are generally formatted (there's a lot of code formatted by hand). Peter
