indoc 0.1.11

Indented document literals
Indented Documents (indoc)
==========================

[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/dtolnay/indoc.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/dtolnay/indoc)
[![Latest Version](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/indoc.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/indoc)

This crate provides a Rust compiler plugin for indented string literals. The
`indoc!()` macro takes a multiline string literal and un-indents it so the
leftmost non-space character is in the first column.

## Installation

Indoc is available on [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/indoc). Use the
following in `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
indoc = "^0.1"
```

Release notes are available under [GitHub releases](https://github.com/dtolnay/indoc/releases).

## Using Indoc

```rust
#![plugin(indoc)]

fn main() {
    let testing = indoc!("
        a
           b
        c
           d");
    let expected = "a\n   b\nc\n   d";
    assert_eq!(testing, expected);
}
```

Indoc also works with raw string literals:

```rust
#![plugin(indoc)]

fn main() {
    let testing = indoc!(r#"
        a
           "b"
        c
           d
        "#);
    let expected = "a\n   \"b\"\nc\n   d\n";
    assert_eq!(testing, expected);
}
```

And byte string literals:

```rust
#![plugin(indoc)]

fn main() {
    let testing = indoc!(b"
        a
           b
        c
           d
        ");
    let expected = b"a\n   b\nc\n   d\n";
    assert_eq!(testing, expected);
}
```

## Explanation

The following rules characterize the behavior of the `indoc!()` macro:

1. Count the leading spaces of each line, ignoring the first line and any lines
   that are empty or contain spaces only.
2. Take the minimum.
3. If the first line is empty i.e. the string begins with a newline, remove the
   first line.
4. Remove the computed number of spaces from the beginning of each line.

This means there are a few equivalent ways to format the same string, so choose
one you like. All of the following result in the string `"line one\nline
two\n"`:

```
indoc!("            /      indoc!(             /      indoc!("line one
   line one        /         "line one        /               line two
   line two       /           line two       /                ")
   ")            /            ")            /
```
