Projections and Indentation

The indentation you use in a projection is taken into account. Thus, in the following example literal text will appear indented 8 spaces from This is.

// docu-project/defs/editor-indentation.edit#L6-L14

Text {
[
This is
        literal text
      that is projected in the
                editor
  for every concept of type Text.
]
}

However, this is not the complete story. Any whitespace before the line with the least indentation is ignored. Thus, you can indent the projection as a whole, without it having any influence on the projected indentation. The next example produces the exact same result as the previous.

// docu-project/defs/editor-indentation.edit#L16-L25

Text2 {
            [
            This is
                    literal text
                  that is projected in the

                            editor
              for every concept of type Text.
            ]
}

In the following example, however, the line with the least indentation is for every concept of type Text. Its indentation will define the margin. It will not be indented. However, the text This is will be indented 10 spaces, literal text will be indented 8 spaces, etc.

// docu-project/defs/editor-indentation.edit#L27-L35

Text3 {
    [
                 This is
               literal text
          that is projected in the
                  editor
       for every concept of type Text.
            ]
}

In this calculation the indentation of the closing bracket is also considered. Therefore, the following example will take the closing bracket as margin, and even the line for every concept of type Text. will be indented with 3 spaces.

// docu-project/defs/editor-indentation.edit#L37-L45

Text4 {
    [
                 This is
               literal text
          that is projected in the
                  editor
       for every concept of type Text.
    ]
}
