Add indentation.
Add the ability to specify indentation.
- intent - the number of spaces of indentation per level
@mame, any change you can review and merge this? I'd love to have the new changes for my projects. Thanks!
Thank you, but I'm a little cautious about this feature though. This is because I think of some variants on the possible indentation style.
- Nested indent (proposed?)
[foo]
key = value
[foo.bar]
key = value
[foo.bar.baz]
key = value
- Nested indent, but not indent
key = value
[foo]
key = value
[foo.bar]
key = value
[foo.bar.baz]
key = value
- No nested indent, but indents only
key = value
[foo]
key = value
[foo.bar]
key = value
[foo.bar.baz]
key = value
- Indent by spaces, or indent by hard tabs
- What output should be produced when combined with use_dot option
I should research what other major TOML encoder implementations offer in terms of formatting options.

I personally use the third option with no nested indent.

I strongly recommend using spaces and not tabs. All the common IDEs use spaces instead of tabs, because tabs are inconsistent. The way I made this you can specify the number of spaces you want sections to be indented by. Common options are 2 or 4 spaces.
If you would prefer to use the nested indent schema, I could see about making that work and updating this merge request. I don't have a huge preference about indentation. Either option 1 or 3 would be fine. Any indentation will be better than no indentation.
Hey @mame, just checking in to see if you had any further input on this. I really would like to have indentation added soon so I don't have to fork and push a new gem just to add the feature to my project.
Is there a specific indentation format I can implement which you would merge?
