#2 Multiline formatting problems

Reported by Tristan Zajonc / tristanz, created 6 months ago, last edited unknown.

It doesn't look like the editor can handle multiline python syntax. This includes multiline strings, explicit and implicit line continuation. Examples include:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15

def multi():
        """ This is a multiline doc string
        line 2
        line 3
        """

        a = """first line
        second line's ticks '
        final line"""

        a = 1 + 2 + 3 + \
        4 + 5

        a = (1 + 2 + 3 +
                4 + 5)

This issue is because VS2010 likes to handle formatting one line at a time, which makes it hard to handle multi-line constructs. Worse, VS might decide it wants to reformat starting in the middle of the file (if it knows there are no changes above it). I don't know if the built-in TrackingSpans are capable of handling this.

It's not impossible; I just need sit down and think through all the cases, but haven't had the time.

As always, patches are welcome. :)

Sadly I'm not an VS or .NET expert, but if I do figure something out I will submit it.
