8. Conclusions and known limitations

There are a number of known limitations of the script, and almost certainly quite a few that are unknown! The known issues include:

multicolumn alignment

when working with code blocks in which multicolumn commands overlap, the algorithm can fail; see Listing 68.

textWrap after

when operating with indentRules (see Section 3.9) may not always cooperate with one another; if you have a specific example that does not work, please report it to (“Home of Latexindent.pl” n.d.).

You can run latexindent on any file; if you don’t specify an extension, then the extensions that you specify in fileExtensionPreference (see Listing 34) will be consulted. If you find a case in which the script struggles, please feel free to report it at (“Home of Latexindent.pl” n.d.), and in the meantime, consider using a noIndentBlock (see page lst:noIndentBlock).

I hope that this script is useful to some; if you find an example where the script does not behave as you think it should, the best way to contact me is to report an issue on (“Home of Latexindent.pl” n.d.); otherwise, feel free to find me on the http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/6621/cmhughes.
