Hi peter
Is it possible to configure formatter to preserve empty lines and line comments?
I do not know :)
e.g. -------------- myMethod someCode. < empty line that I would like to preserve > moreCode. ---------------
But I think that should be customizable.
the formatter also automatically puts comments on the end of the previous statement. e.g. ------ someCode. "a comment" moreCode.
If I recall, the problem is that comments are not a node but an attribute of a node. We should try to fix that. It is not clear where you always want to put them.
---- ends up as ---- someCode. "a comment" moreCode. -----
Both those behaviors seems odd to me.
I've seen empty newlines and line comments in Pharo code... so either I missed some setting or people just don't use the formatter? I use the formatter and I would like to use it much more systemaitcally.
Thanks, Peter
