= EightHeader

Easily create custom headlines, foldtext, toc, etc.

* https://github.com/bimlas/vim-eightheader (please star if you like it)
* http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4930 (please rate if you using it)

To use EightHeader just move the cursor to the line which you want to modify (hereinafter `line`), then call it:

[source]
----
EightHeader( {length}, {align}, {oneline}, {decor}, {marker}, {str} )

{length} Length of the header.
{align} Alignment of text.
{oneline} If false, then underline the {line} with {decor}.
{decor} Decorator text to fill with.
{marker} Extra content after decotRightEnd.
{str} Replace the content of {line} with this.
----

An example with {oneline} set to true (1) (`s:str` means the original line,
see `EightHeaderVars` for details):

[source]
----
call EightHeader( 78, 'center', 1, ['l ', 'decor', ' r'], ' m', '\=" ".s:str." "' )

l decordecordecordecordeco TEXT IN THE LINE cordecordecordecordecord r m
----

\... and false (0):

[source]
----
call EightHeader( 78, 'center', 0, ['l ', 'decor', ' r'], ' m', '' )

TEXT IN THE LINE m
l decordecordecordecordecordecordecordecordecordecordecordecordecordec r
----

If you don't like the default `'foldtext'` you can customize it by setting to
`EightHeaderFolds()`.

For example the closed folds looks like this by default:

[source]
----
+-- 45 lines: Fold level one
+--- 67 lines: Fold level two
----

If you would like to change it to this kind:

[source]
----
Fold level one................45 lines
Fold level two..............67 lines
----

\... then you can use this function:

[source]
----
let &foldtext = "EightHeaderFolds( '\\=s:fullwidth-2', 'left', [ repeat( ' ', v:foldlevel - 1 ), '.', '' ], '\\= s:foldlines . \" lines\"', '' )"
----

An alternative usage for example formating a vimhelp table of contents:

[source]
----
Options;options
Default mappings;maps
Launch nuclear strike;apocalypse
----

\... to this:

[source]
----
Options........................................................|options|
Default mappings..................................................|maps|
Launch nuclear strike.....................................|apocalypse|
----

Visually select the lines, than:

[source]
----
call EightHeader( 78, "left", 1, ".", "\\='|'.matchstr(s:str, ';\\@<=.*').'|'", "\\=matchstr(s:str, '.*;\\@=')" )
----
