Tabular
|
|
==============
|
|
Sometimes, it's useful to line up text. Naturally, it's nicer to have the
|
|
computer do this for you, since aligning things by hand quickly becomes
|
|
unpleasant. While there are other plugins for aligning text, the ones I've
|
|
tried are either impossibly difficult to understand and use, or too simplistic
|
|
to handle complicated tasks. This plugin aims to make the easy things easy
|
|
and the hard things possible, without providing an unnecessarily obtuse
|
|
interface. It's still a work in progress, and criticisms are welcome.
|
|
|
|
See [Aligning Text with Tabular.vim](http://vimcasts.org/episodes/aligning-text-with-tabular-vim/)
|
|
for a screencast that shows how Tabular.vim works.
|
|
|
|
See [doc/Tabular.txt](http://raw.github.com/godlygeek/tabular/master/doc/Tabular.txt)
|
|
for detailed documentation.

Installation
|
|
==============
|
|
If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing
|
|
[pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), and then simply
|
|
copy and paste:
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle
|
|
cd ~/.vim/bundle
|
|
git clone git://github.com/godlygeek/tabular.git
|
|
|
|
Once help tags have been generated (either using Pathogen's `:Helptags`
|
|
command, or by pointing vim's `:helptags` command at the directory where you
|
|
installed Tabular), you can view the manual with `:help tabular`.
