Can you give a code example of what you're trying to do?
The real code can be found only through SF's VC viewer: http://geany-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geany-plugins/trunk/geanygen...
But let's explain a bit: I would insert a text block, and indent it to respect the indentation of the insertion's line. What I do is:
- build a text block (line 326);
- find *the line* at which insert it (I don't know the position, only
the line -- this is from a tag) at the start (lines 338-339); 3) convert that line information to position information as needed (lines 340-343); 4) insert the text block (line 351).
Of course step 3 is an implementation detail, and it's where I have the "problem". My question is: "how am I supposed to insert a text block at the start of a particular *line* for it to be indented as this line is indented?"
- If this is a good way to proceed, could we have
sci_get_line_indentation() in the plugin API? Even though it is easy to reproduce [2] it would be nicer to have it directly.
We can do, send a patch if you like. It sounds like it might be better to use editor_insert_text_block in this case.
Yeah I do so but it needs to already know at which *position* insert the block. And the position where I want to insert is something like the "smart start" of the line (start of the line + indentation).
OK, I think I understand now ;-)
I think your solution is right. The function doesn't insert indentation on the first line.
