F# addin for MonoDevelop: defaults

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hey guys,

Is there a reason why the F# addin does not have its own configuration for "Convert Tabs to Spaces"?   

I would rather not have to set this globally, and luckily, MonoDevelop allows this to be set on a per-file type basis.

What you need to do is register a formatting setting for F# files.

To do this, you need to register a PolicySet for the F# mime type, you can see how the C# one does this for various styles here:

monodevelop/main/src/addins/CSharpBinding/CSharpBinding.addin.xml

And it looks like this:

        <Extension path = "/MonoDevelop/ProjectModel/PolicySets/VisualStudio" >

                <Policies resource="FSharpVisualStudio.xml" />

        </Extension>

And then ship a FSharpVisualStudio.xml one, you probably want to copy the style we have in:

monodevelop/main/src/addins/CSharpBinding/MonoDevelop.CSharp.Formatting/policies/MonoCSharpPolicy.xml

Miguel.

Hello guys,

Small update.

Michael tells me that you do not need to define a F# policy type, all you have to do is define a text policy scoped to the  F# mime type:

<TextStylePolicy scope="text/x-fsharp">

        <FileWidth>120</FileWidth>

        <TabWidth>4</TabWidth>

        <IndentWidth>4</IndentWidth>

        <TabsToSpaces>False</TabsToSpaces>

        <NoTabsAfterNonTabs>False</NoTabsAfterNonTabs>

        <RemoveTrailingWhitespace>True</RemoveTrailingWhitespace>

        <EolMarker>Unix</EolMarker>

</TextStylePolicy>

following up with Miguel and Michael off thread - last time we tried this the policy file seemed to be ignored
