Code Style. YAML

Indent

In this field, specify the number of spaces to be inserted for each indent level.

Keep indents on empty lines

If this checkbox is selected, CLion retains indents on empty lines as if they contained some code. If the checkbox is cleared, CLion deletes spaces on empty lines.

Indent sequence value

If selected, YAML sequence values are indented relative to the parent key item.

Visual guides

In this field, specify multiple right margins. You can leave a default value or enter the number of spaces for your margin. If you want to specify several margins, enter numbers separated by comma.

Keep when reformatting

Use the checkboxes to configure exceptions that CLion will make when reformatting the source code. For example, by default, the Line breaks checkbox is selected.

If your code contains lines that are shorter than a standard convention, you can convert them by disabling the Line breaks checkbox before reformatting.

Alignment options

Align values in maps

Use this list to specify how CLion should align key-value pairs. The available options are:

• Do not align: the attributes in sequential lines will be not aligned.

• On colon: the attributes in sequential lines will be aligned against the colon.

• On value: the attributes in sequential lines will be aligned against the value.

Sequence value

Use these options to specify formatting for the YAML sequence values:

• Sequence on new line: if selected, each new sequence inside a nested sequences block is put on a separate line:

  -
    -
      - nested sequences block

  Otherwise, nested sequences will be kept on a single line:

  - - - nested sequences block

• Block mapping on new line: if selected, block mappings inside a sequence are put on a separate line:

  -
    key: value

  Otherwise, they are kept on a single line:

  - key: value

• Automatically insert hyphen on enter: if selected, CLion will automatically hyphenate the next sequence value when you press Enter.
