Bug ID: 5416
Summary: pad(), label(), and color don't interact well
Product: Mercurial
Version: 4.0
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: feature
Priority: wish
Component: templater
Assignee: bugzi...@selenic.com
Reporter: gregory.sz...@gmail.com
CC: mercurial-de...@selenic.com, y...@tcha.org
Say you want to create a template that uses pad() to create aligned columns.
Then say you want to add a label() around a column value so output can be
colorized. Each works on its own but when you combine them, things start to
fall apart.
If you do `pad(label())`, the expanded text from label() may contain
non-printable color escape sequences that count against the length of the
string and affect pad()'s behavior, leading to unexpected results.
If you do `label(pad())`, the labeling/coloring extends over the padding
character, which is likely a space. This could make output look weird due to
coloring of whitespace.
