Java 11 and 12 – New Features

The indent(int) method

The indent(int) method will enable developers to specify custom indentations for their multiline string values. You can pass a positive number, i, to indent(int), to add i spaces (U+0020) to your text, or you can pass a negative number, to remove a given number of whitespaces from each line of your multiline text.

An example is as follows:

String comment =  
       `one  
          of 
                  my 
           favorite 
               lang 
                   feature 
       from Amber(!)  
`.align().indent(15); 
System.out.println(comment); 

The output of the preceding code is as follows:

               one  
                  of 
                          my 
                   favorite 
                       lang 
                           feature 
               from Amber(!)  

The indent(int) method can be used to add or remove whitespaces from each line in a multitext value. By passing a positive number, you can add whitespaces, and you can remove ...
