#112 Request new FORMAT INLINE command to format bloc of lines

[Bernard Schleich]

I have begun to use // *INDEX-ONand // *INDEX-OFF to disable formatting and to keep previous formatting.

This work well ... until another user reformat the Java code using another style !

If I use Artistic Style again to format using my specific style, the INDEX-ON bloc dosen't restore the situation as is was before my colleague format java code.

I have this problem with following code ...

public enum ParameterEnum
    { INDIVIDUAL_RISK           (ParameterGroup.RISK ,'Default Value' )
    , BRACKET_VALUE             (ParameterGroup.RISK ,'YES'           )   
    , INPUT_TYPE                (ParameterGroup.RISK ,'Comment'       ) 
    ...
    };

After another user reformat the same code, I have following source lines

public enum ParameterEnum {
    INDIVIDUAL_RISK(ParameterGroup.RISK),
    BRACKET_VALUE(ParameterGroup.RISK),
    INPUT_TYPE(ParameterGroup.RISK),
    ...
};    

As you can see, my original tabular format has been lost :-( !

I would have the possibility to format some lines of code in adding some inline command as in following example:

// *FORMAT:ENUM-COMMA-FIRST
public enum ParameterEnum {
    INDIVIDUAL_RISK(ParameterGroup.RISK),
    BRACKET_VALUE(ParameterGroup.RISK),
    INPUT_TYPE(ParameterGroup.RISK),
    ...
};    
// *FORMAT:*

to retreive my original formatting :-)

// *FORMAT:ENUM-COMMA-FIRST
public enum ParameterEnum
    { INDIVIDUAL_RISK           (ParameterGroup.RISK ,'Default Value' )
    , BRACKET_VALUE             (ParameterGroup.RISK ,'YES'           )   
    , INPUT_TYPE                (ParameterGroup.RISK ,'Comment'       ) 
    ...
    };
// *FORMAT:*

Currently to do same thing, I execute Artistic Style program and when it is terminated I start a second script that reformat *FORMAT blocs !

I know that this ENUM format style can also be define at file level, but I'm interesting to have it at line level.

BUT, there is perhaps already a solution to my problem :-)

I don't find how to modify/correct my FIRST post to
1. specify Milestone 2.0 instead of 1.0
2. add 'comment-string' in enum example so that example are more correct.
Can somebody make that for me ?
