Align to *backslash* ( \ ) at bash file

[Ahmed Hussein]

Hello, I hope problem to align using backslash
This is example:

cmake \
-G Ninja \
-D USE_EXTERNAL_ZLIB=ON \
..

I want it to be like

cmake                                          \
-G Ninja                                       \
-D USE_EXTERNAL_ZLIB=ON                        \
..

Is it legal to do that?!
Thanks

How about just doing "minus space" alignment (around the last whitespace)?

You can specify the size of margin around the delimiter, but if you are trying to put the backslashes on a fixed column, like 80, easy-align does not support it. You'll have to post-process the lines after aligning them.

I am really sorry I don't know that

No problem.
