Can I customize the indentation of ternary operators in emacs' cperl-mode?
- by Ryan Thompson
In emacs cperl-mode, ternary operators are not treated specially. If you break them over multiple lines, cperl-mode simply indents each line the same way it indents any continued statement, like this:
$result = ($foo == $bar) ? 'result1' :
($foo == $baz) ? 'result2' :
($foo == $qux) ? 'result3' :
($foo == $quux) ? 'result4' :
fail_result;
This is not very readable. Is there some way that I can convince cperl-mode indent like this?
$result = ($foo == $bar) ? 'result1' :
($foo == $baz) ? 'result2' :
($foo == $qux) ? 'result3' :
($foo == $quux) ? 'result4' :
fail_result;
By the way, code example from this question.
