Class IndentManager

java.lang.Object

org.anc.util.IndentManager

public class IndentManager
extends Object

Instances of the IndentManager class are used to control the indentation level when pretty printing text/xml output. By default the IndentManager will use an indentation size of four spaces, but this can be changed with the parameterized constructor IndentManager(String)/

Everytime the more() method is called the current indentation level is pushed onto a stack and the indentation level is increased by the default amount. Everytime the less() method is called the stack is popped and the current indentation level is set to the String popped from the stack.

Example

     IndentManager indent = new IndentManager();
     System.out.println(indent + "<start>");
     prettyPrintSomething(indent);
     System.out.println(indent + "</start>");
     ...
     void prettyPrintSomething(IndentManager indent)
     {
         indent.more();
         System.out.println(indent + "<something/>");
         indent.less();
     }
