MTLIndentation

struct MTLIndentation

Overview

MTL indentation provides automatic indentation management for generated text, supporting both space-based and tab-based indentation with configurable indentation strings and nesting levels.

Overview

MTL templates can generate text with automatic indentation by:

• Tracking nesting levels: Each block increases the indentation level

• Configurable indentation: Spaces or tabs with customizable width

• Inlined blocks: Blocks can opt out of indentation with the inlined flag

• Conditional indentation: Lines can be written with or without indentation

Indentation Behavior

By default, MTL uses 4-space indentation:

Level 0: "text"
Level 1: "    text"
Level 2: "        text"

Indentation can be customized:

// 2-space indentation
let indent = MTLIndentation(level: 0, indentString: "  ")

// Tab indentation
let tabIndent = MTLIndentation(level: 0, indentString: "\t")

Example Usage

var indent = MTLIndentation()
print(indent.asString)  // ""

indent = indent.increment()
print(indent.asString)  // "    " (4 spaces)

indent = indent.increment()
print(indent.asString)  // "        " (8 spaces)

indent = indent.decrement()
print(indent.asString)  // "    " (4 spaces)
