Dear Vidar,
some time ago I wrote a function to create a nice-looking headers for my
Python scripts. I hope it'll give you some inspiration. Feel free to copy &
modify it according to your needs.
What it does: After pressing <F8> (see the mapping below) it asks for the
header text. When finished typing, it produces a header like this:
# This is my header ################################
<an empty line>
Here comes your function/class definition.
with the length of line adjusted to 78 (a safe value for 80-char-wide
terminals).
function CreateHeader()
let headerLength = 78
let header = input("Header: ")
if strlen(header) == 0
return
endif
if strlen(header) > headerLength - 6
" Begin with '# ' and end with ' ###'
return
endif
let header = "# " . header . " "
let lenOfHeader = strlen(header)
let i = 0
while i < headerLength - lenOfHeader
let header = header . "#"
let i = i + 1
endwhile
let lineNo = line(".")
call append(lineNo, header)
" Add an empty line and position the cursor
call append(lineNo + 1, "")
call cursor(lineNo + 2, 0)
execute "startinsert"
endfunction
map <F8> :call CreateHeader()<CR>
imap <F8> <Esc>:call CreateHeader()<CR>
