Description
Announces a tab to the pretty printer. The colnum and colinc arguments have meaning based on the value of kind:
#"line"- Tab to output column colnum. If the output is already at or beyond colnum, then add colinc to colnum until printing can continue at a column beyond the end of the output already on the line.
#"line-relative"-
Output colnum spaces. Then output enough spaces to tab to a column that is a multiple of colinc from the beginning of the line.
#"section"- Similar to
#"line", but column counting is relative to the beginning of the current section rather than the beginning of the line. #"section-relative"-
Similar to
#"line-relative", but column counting is relative to the beginning of the current section rather than the beginning of the line.
