### Description A Robot Framework major mode for Emacs. Robot Framework is a framework for acceptance testing. - https://robotframework.org - https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html This major mode provides the following: - Syntax highlighting. - Indentation. - Alignment of keyword contents. - Line continuation in Robot Framework syntax. - A helper for adding necessary spaces between arguments. #### Alignment of keyword contents Align the contents of a keyword, test or task with `C-c C-a'. It changes the following code: Example Keyword [Documentation] Documents the keyword [Arguments] ${arg1} ${arg2} Log ${arg1} ${arg2} To: Example Keyword [Documentation] Documents the keyword [Arguments] ${arg1} ${arg2} Log ${arg1} ${arg2} #### Line continuation Insert a newline, indentation, ellipsis and necessary spaces at current point with `C-c C-j'. For example (| denotes the cursor): Another Keyword [Documentation] A very long text| that describes the keyword. To: Another Keyword [Documentation] A very long text ... |that describes the keyword. #### Add spacing for an argument Robot framework separates arguments to keywords with 2 or more spaces. The `C-c C-SPC' sets the whitespace amount around point to exactly `robot-mode-argument-separator'. For example (| denotes the cursor): Example Keyword [Arguments] ${first}|${second} To: Example Keyword [Arguments] ${first} |${second} ### Limitations - Currently supports only the Space separated format: https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#space-separated-format - Does NOT support the Pipe separated format or the reStructuredText format. ### Notable changes Version 0.8.0 - Add `robot-mode-retain-point-on-indent' option to retain point position when indenting. Currently it is disabled by default, but may be enabled in the future. - Prevent indent toggling from interfering with TAB completion when `tab-always-indent' is set to 'complete and the above point retention is used. - Fix several indent toggling bugs: - Set `electric-indent-inhibit'. - Disable when aligning by using variable `robot-mode-indent-toggle'. - Fix syntax highlighting and indentation when a control structure word is the first word in a keyword. - Fix various other syntax highlighting bugs. Version 0.7.0 - Add control structure indentation (IF/WHILE/FOR/TRY etc.).
