Example:
String c = `
abc
def
ghi
`.align(-1);
Result:
abc
def
ghi
Pasting error. should have been three leading spaces. That is, align() on
column zero would have left 4 spaces in front of each line. 4 - 1 == 3, hence 3
spaces. Using the columns interpretation, the lines are aligned one column to
the left of the page; c.align().indent(-1) or c.lines(1, 1).indent(-1-19).
Another perspective,
Example:
String x = `
abc
def
ghi
`.align(-4);
Result:
abc
def
ghi
- line 0 would land in column zero by the alignment but can not move any
further.
- line 1 would land in column four by the alignment and then indent(-4) ending
up in column zero
- line 2 would land in column eight by the alignment and then indent(-4) ending
up in column four
