* Description
This layer adds support for [[https://github.com/lewang/rebox2][rebox2]] package which is a minor-mode allowing
to easily add ASCII text boxes to a buffer.
A nice video demonstration by the package author can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53YeTdVtDkU][here]].
** Features:
- Auto-wrap correctly in comments,
- Auto-fill correctly in comments,
- Boxes auto-adapt as text is inserted or deleted,
- ~S-RET~ to continue a comment on the next line,
- Kill/yank within the box,
- Apparently works well with ancient =filladpt-mode= (see authors video).
* Install
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =rebox= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
** Configuration
*** Styles cycling
Box styles are identified by numbers, it is possible to cycle through a list
of styles using ~SPC x b n~. This list can be customized by setting the variable
=rebox-style-loop=.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq rebox-style-loop '(71 72 73))
#+END_SRC
*** Text mode
As text mode usage could surprise some users (e.g., when they enter M-q to fill
a paragraph) =rebox= is not enabled by default in =text-mode=. To enable it you
need to set the layer variable =rebox-enable-in-text-mode= to =t=.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(rebox :variables rebox-enable-in-text-mode t)))
#+END_SRC
* Style Templates
** Standard packaged templates
You can find the full list of templates in
[[https://github.com/lewang/rebox2/blob/master/rebox2.el]["Box templates" section of =rebox2.el=]]
*** Comments
These templates are single line comments styles. A =#= is used here for
illustration; however, it will work equally well if the comment character is
different (e.g., lisp's =;= comment character).
** Additional Templates
These templates are added by the Spacemacs layer.

* Key bindings
*Note:* Use a numerical prefix argument to choose a specific style for instance
~86 SPC x b b~ to use the style 86 above.
| Key binding | Command |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC x b >~ | Move box to the right (point must be around left side of the box) |
| ~SPC x b <~ | Move box to the left (point must be around left side of the box) |
| ~SPC x b b~ | Draw next box defined in =rebox-style-loop= |
| ~SPC x b B~ | Draw previous box defined in =rebox-style-loop= |
| ~SPC x b c~ | Center box (point must be around left side of the box) |
| ~S-RET~ | rebox-indent-new-line |
