ocp-indent

[eriklovlie]

Seems to me it would make a lot of sense to use ocp-indent to provide standard indentation. I'm not at all sure how language-ocaml works, but maybe that can be forked to only do highlighting and then another package could use "ocp-indent --lines - --numeric". This could be done on the fly (on newlines I suppose) and only for the lines that have changed.

Could probably follow the approach from the emacs package: https://github.com/OCamlPro/ocp-indent/blob/master/tools/ocp-indent.el

Technically it would be nicest if this was another package. Doesn't seem to be any point in bundling this in linter-ocaml. But I'll record the idea here for now.

It would be incompatible with language-ocaml however, so would need to also provide highlighting (and somehow mark itself as incompatible with language-ocaml so the user doesn't get weird behavior).

I'm still confused about how atom language packages specify indentation rules. E.g. there following query returns nothing: https://github.com/toroidal-code/language-ocaml/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=increaseIndentPattern

There is now a package to use ocp-indent in atom: https://atom.io/packages/ocaml-indent
