RESPONSE FILE
A response file contains a list of command line options, each on a seperate
line. This allows to user to reconfigure BEAUTIFY without having to type long
command lines. Anything on a command line except input and output file
specifications can be in a response file. This includes other response file
specifications, identifier file specifications as well as options. Options
must not include the leading flag character (- or /) while file specifications
must.

IDENTIFIER FILE
An identifier file contains identifiers (on seperate lines) that the user
wants treated specially in regard to case.

OPTIONS

-a n
Sets the column that comments are aligned at. Any comment
starting at a column to the right of the comment threshing
column will be aligned. Default: 50

-b+, -b-
Determines whether builtin indentifiers will be handled
specially. If so, the file BUILTINS.DAT will be read in and
whenever an indentifier is found matching (case ignored) an
identifier in this file, it will be output as it is
specified in the file. Default: -b+

-cc n
Sets the number of spaces that a continued comment is
indented relative to the first line of the comment.
Default: 2

-ci n
Sets the number of spaces that a continued statement is
indented relative to the first line of the statement.
Default: 8

-ct n
Sets the comment threshing column. Any comments starting to
the right of this column will be aligned to the column
specified by -a. Default: 6

-e n
Sets the number of spaces to be placed before END statements
that are not at the start of a line. Default: 2

-f+, -f-
Enables/disables the placing of a space between a procedure
or function name and its parameter list. Default: -f-

-i n
Sets the number of spaces by which to indent each level.
Default: 2

-l n
Sets the maximum length of output lines. Default: 125

-m n
Sets the size (in characters) of the left margin. This
number of spaces will be prepended to each line of output.
Default: 0

-n+, -n-
Determines if an END statement will cause a new line of
output to be started. Also determines if body closer (e.g.
END, UNTIL) will be unindented with respect to the body.
Default: -n+

With -n+ code would look like:

begin
repeat
foo(x);
until x > 5
end;

With -n- the same code would be:

begin
repeat
foo(x);
until x > 5 end;

-o+, -o-
Enables/disables the starting of a newline after a case
constant and the indenting of the statement part of the
case. Default: -o-

With -o+ code would look like:

case x of
1:
y := 1;
2:
begin
foo(x);
end;
end;

With -o- it would be:

case x of
1: y := 1;
2: begin
foo(x);
end;
end;

-p+, -p-
Enables/disables the indenting of all of a procedure or
function definition, except the header itself. Default: -p-

-r+, -r-
Causes reserved words to be output in upper/lower case.
Default: -r-

-s+, -s-
Enables/disables simple statements following a THEN, ELSE,
or DO to be 'snuggled' up to the corresponding THEN, ELSE,
or DO. Default: -s-

With -s+ code would be like:

if x then foo(x)
else begin
foo(y);
end;

With -s- it would be:

if x then
foo(x)
else begin
foo(y);
end;

-sd+, -sd-
As with -s- and -s+, but only effects the snuggling up to
DOs. Default: -sd-

-si+, -si-
As with -s- and -s+, but only effects the snuggling up to
THENs and ELSEs. Default: -si-

-t n
Sets the tab width for the input file. Default: 5

-w+, -w-
Enables/disables the insertion of a BEGIN-END pair around
structured statements that are controlled by another
structured statement. Default: -w-

For this example the following input is assumed:

if v then
if w then
x
else
y
else
z;

With -w+ this would become:

if v then begin
if w then
x
else
y
end else
z;

With -w- it would be unchanged.

-z+, -z-
Enables/disables strip blank lines between the
procedure, function, constructor, or destructor
and it's body. Default: -z-

For example:

procedure MyExitProc;

var
I: Integer;

begin
{ statement... }
end;

With -z+ it would be

procedure MyExitProc;
var
I: Integer;
begin
{ statement... }
end;

With -z- it would be unchanged.
