Improved for/end, if/end, try/catch/end, and range-formatting block alignment behavior
Added settings to force-remove blank lines after control blocks and after function/classdef
Added MATLAB language indentation rules in VS Code for better block editing experience
Requirements
VS Code 1.20 or newer for the extension
No extra runtime is required for extension users
Node.js is only needed if you want to run the formatter standalone from the command line or develop this project
Extension Settings
matlab-formatter-plus.indentwidth: Number of spaces used for indentation.
matlab-formatter-plus.separateBlocks: Legacy master switch for block blank-line formatting.
matlab-formatter-plus.insertBlankLineBeforeBlocks: Insert a blank line before block starts such as if, for, and try.
matlab-formatter-plus.insertBlankLineAfterBlocks: Insert a blank line after block endings.
matlab-formatter-plus.allowBlankLineBetweenConsecutiveBlockStarts: Allow or suppress blank lines between consecutive nested block starts such as for followed immediately by another for.
matlab-formatter-plus.allowBlankLineBetweenConsecutiveBlockEnds: Allow or suppress blank lines between consecutive nested block endings such as end followed immediately by another end.
matlab-formatter-plus.indentMode: Chose smart indentation mode: indent all functions, indent only nested functions, or don't indent inside any function.
matlab-formatter-plus.addSpaces: Chose which operators should be wrapped with spaces: all operators, all but power (^, .^) or don't wrap any operators.
matlab-formatter-plus.matrixIndent: Chose how matrices should be indented. Either keep all rows aligned or use only one level of indentation.
matlab-formatter-plus.squeezeBlankAfterControlBlocks: Force-remove blank lines right after control blocks such as if and for.
matlab-formatter-plus.squeezeBlankAfterFunctionBlocks: Force-remove blank lines right after function and classdef.
Additional Options
The formatter can be switched off for selected lines by adding the comment formatter ignore N. For the next N lines, only the indentation will be fixed. Other than that, they will not be altered.
