Projektgeschichte

The GitHub repository was created on 2012-08-28. CTAN lists Chris Hughes as maintainer, and the project README identifies the package as `latexindent.pl`, a Perl script to beautify, tidy, format, and indent code within environments, commands, headings, and special code blocks.

The project evolved from indentation into a broader source-formatting tool. The README documents delimiter alignment, line-break modification, text wrapping, one-sentence-per-line handling, string and regex replacements, Conda, Docker, and pre-commit support.

The 2026 V4.0 changelog records a major overhaul of how `latexindent.pl` finds code blocks, with user-setting changes and performance and interaction improvements. CTAN records version 4.0.2 dated 2026-06-06.

Adoptionsgeschichte

latexindent.pl is distributed through CTAN and is included in TeX Live and MiKTeX. Homebrew packages it as `latexindent`, and the upstream README documents standalone executables for Windows, Ubuntu Linux, and macOS, along with Conda, Docker, and pre-commit workflows.

Its adoption tracks the rise of formatter expectations in developer tooling: LaTeX authors increasingly want editor, CI, and pre-commit formatting support similar to language formatters such as gofmt, Black, or Prettier.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users run `latexindent.pl myfile.tex` for a default formatting pass, often with `-l` to load YAML settings, `-o` to write a separate output file, or pre-commit hooks to format files during Git workflows. The documentation emphasizes testing output carefully before overwriting important documents.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

latexindent.pl is package-nerd significant because it brings modern formatter ergonomics to TeX source: reproducible layout, YAML configuration, editor integration, pre-commit hooks, and CI-friendly command-line behavior.

It also has a packaging wrinkle maintainers care about: despite the Homebrew formula name `latexindent`, the upstream executable and documentation consistently center `latexindent.pl` and its Perl module/settings bundle.
