Parameters: kind - Use to specify the kind of the code snippet to format. Regions must be sortedīy their offsets, smaller offset first. No region in regions must overlap with any other region in regions.Įach region must be within source. It would be up to theĬaller to get rid of preceding whitespaces. If an offset position is matching a whitespace, the result can include whitespaces. Returns: the text edit Throws: IllegalArgumentException - if offset is lower than 0, length is lower than 0 orĪnd returns a text edit that correspond to the difference between the given string and the formatted string. If set to null, then the platform default one will be used. lineSeparator - the line separator to use in formatted source, To shift left/right the entire source fragment. indentationLevel - the initial indentation level, used length - the given length to stop recording the edits (exclusive). source - the source to format offset - the given offset to start recording the edits (inclusive).
