hindent requires a style argument

[Paul]

Hello,

The latest hindent version requires at lease a style argument:

$ hindent
hindent: --version --style (fundamental|chris-done|johan-tibell|gibiansky|cramer) --line-length <...> [-X<...>]* []

$ hindent --version
hindent 4.6.3

I've edited the hindent.vim to use johan-tibell for my personal use.

silent! silent exec "!cat % | hindent --style johan-tibell"
exec ':redraw!'

if v:shell_error
    echom "Hindent: Parsing error"
else
    silent! exec "%!hindent --style johan-tibell"
endif

I guess you could just choose a default style and allow the user to choose in their .vimrc

Hey,

I thought about adding a variable to allow the user to select the style, but then I read latest Cris Done's blog post and apparently since version 5.x hindent silently ignores style arguments and only uses Tibell's style.

So if you update hindent now you'll be using johan-tibell as the default and only style.

Thanks for the info. I just updated to hindent 5.2.1 and I see it default with johan-tibell.
Right now, stack install hindent only provides version 4.6.3.
