Add the ability to specify a named formatting style using a comment block.
Add the ability to specify a named formatting style using a comment block.
Add functionality to specify, in a comment block, what formatting style should be used when formatting the current file. It could be a simple addition to the existing turn-on/off formatting comment.
Perhaps something like this:
--SQL Prompt Formatting On - Style = "My Style"
The above would turn on formatting and specify what style to use.
This functionality would be helpful in many ways.
It is already convenient to have multiple formatting rules, this would keep the user from having to remember what rules apply to what file
When formatting a group of files from the command line, the files themselves could specify their own formatting rules, in case one needs different formatting for different files.
It would also be convenient to be able to have different blocks of code in the same file obey different styles (condensed for one section and a wide,long-line one) for different sections of code. This has to be done using manual formatting using the existing on/off comments.
