[erlang-questions] [ANN] erlang-formatter 1.0.0 (go fmt for Erlang)

[Pierre Fenoll]

Ah so I tried erl_tidy and like Tristan says over at
https://github.com/tsloughter/erl_tidy :
Oh boy my specs!

erlang-mode does not rewrite code in the same sense as erl_tidy.
Instead it behaves as if one was pressing the TAB key on each line of a
file, thus only changing space to the left of the current line.

Even though I like erl_tidy's "unclobbering or commas" (it turns A,B,C into
A, B, C)
I very much prefer erlang-mode's "preservation of \ns": it only changes the
indentation characters.

How do you handle the cases where erl_tidy spews out AST code instead of
compilable code?


@Max 4 spaces, although that is configurable somewhere.
This feature needs confirmation though: that's 4. in
