;;; Commentary:

;; delim-col helps to prettify columns in a text region or rectangle.
;;
;; To use it, make sure that this file is in load-path and insert in your
;; .emacs:
;;
;;    (require 'delim-col)
;;
;; If you have, for example, the following columns:
;;
;;	a	b	c	d
;;	aaaa	bb	ccc	ddddd
;;	aaa	bbb	cccc	dddd
;;	aa	bb	ccccccc	ddd
;;
;; And the following settings:
;;
;;    (setq delimit-columns-str-before "[ ")
;;    (setq delimit-columns-str-after " ]")
;;    (setq delimit-columns-str-separator ", ")
;;    (setq delimit-columns-before "")
;;    (setq delimit-columns-after "")
;;    (setq delimit-columns-separator "\t")
;;    (setq delimit-columns-format 'separator)
;;    (setq delimit-columns-extra t)
;;
;; If you select the lines above and type:
;;
;;    M-x delimit-columns-region RET
;;
;; You obtain the following result:
;;
;;	[ a   , b  , c      , d     ]
;;	[ aaaa, bb , ccc    , ddddd ]
;;	[ aaa , bbb, cccc   , dddd  ]
;;	[ aa  , bb , ccccccc, ddd   ]
;;
;; But if you select start from the very first b to the very last c and type:
;;
;;    M-x delimit-columns-rectangle RET
;;
;; You obtain the following result:
;;
;;	a	[ b  , c       ]	d
;;	aaaa	[ bb , ccc     ]	ddddd
;;	aaa	[ bbb, cccc    ]	dddd
;;	aa	[ bb , ccccccc ]	ddd
;;
;; Now, if we change settings to:
;;
;;    (setq delimit-columns-before "<")
;;    (setq delimit-columns-after ">")
;;
;; For the `delimit-columns-region' example above, the result is:
;;
;;	[ <a>   , <b>  , <c>      , <d>     ]
;;	[ <aaaa>, <bb> , <ccc>    , <ddddd> ]
;;	[ <aaa> , <bbb>, <cccc>   , <dddd>  ]
;;	[ <aa>  , <bb> , <ccccccc>, <ddd>   ]
;;
;; And for the `delimit-columns-rectangle' example above, the result is:
;;
;;	a	[ <b>  , <c>       ]	d
;;	aaaa	[ <bb> , <ccc>     ]	ddddd
;;	aaa	[ <bbb>, <cccc>    ]	dddd
;;	aa	[ <bb> , <ccccccc> ]	ddd
;;
;; Note that `delimit-columns-region' operates over all text region
;; selected, extending the region start to the beginning of line and the
;; region end to the end of line.  While `delimit-columns-rectangle'
;; operates over the text rectangle selected which rectangle diagonal is
;; given by the region start and end.
;;
;; See `delimit-columns-format' variable documentation for column formating.
;;
;; `delimit-columns-region' is useful when you have columns of text that
;; are not well aligned, like:
;;
;;	horse	apple	bus
;;	dog	pineapple	car
;;	porcupine	strawberry	airplane
;;
;; `delimit-columns-region' and `delimit-columns-rectangle' handle lines
;; with different number of columns, like:
;;
;;	horse	apple	bus
;;	dog	pineapple	car	EXTRA
;;	porcupine	strawberry	airplane
;;
;; Use `delimit-columns-customize' to customize delim-col package variables.
