[Caml-list] ocp-indent beta release

[Louis Gesbert <louis.gesbert@ocamlpro.com>]

OCamlPro is proud to announce the beta-release of ocp-indent.

Ocp-indent is a simple tool, entirely written in OCaml, which sole purpose is to
indent OCaml code. It can plug-in seamlessly into emacs' tuareg mode, or be run
from vim.

You can try it now with:

$ opam install ocp-indent

$ INSTDIR="$(opam config var prefix)/share/typerex/ocp-indent"

$ echo '(load-file "'"$INSTDIR/ocp-indent.el"'")' >>~/.emacs

$ echo 'autocmd FileType ocaml source '"$INSTDIR"'/ocp-indent.vim' >>~/.vimrc


Or check it out at https://github.com/OCamlPro/ocp-indent



It presents many improvements over the tuareg indentation engine, a much better
understanding of the syntax, linear complexity, specific handling for many
cases. Also, it was intentionally provided with much less customisation options.

Feel free to submit any code snippet that is not indented to your taste, to help
us improve ocp-indent further.


Some comparison with tuareg on a few big OCaml projects can be seen at
