Lars Ingebrigtsen fb5d70c6fc Make delimit-columns-region say what it does
* lisp/delim-col.el (delimit-columns-region): Make the doc string
say a bit more about what it does (bug#35651).
(delimit-columns-rectangle): Refer to the first function.

;;; Commentary:
;; delim-col helps to prettify columns in a text region or rectangle.
;;
;; If you have, for example, the following columns:
;;
;; a b c d
;; aaaa bb ccc ddddd
;; aaa bbb cccc dddd
;; aa bb ccccccc ddd
;;
;; And the following settings:
;;
;; (setq delimit-columns-str-before "[ ")
;; (setq delimit-columns-str-after " ]")
;; (setq delimit-columns-str-separator ", ")
;; (setq delimit-columns-before "")
;; (setq delimit-columns-after "")
;; (setq delimit-columns-separator "\t")
;; (setq delimit-columns-format 'separator)
;; (setq delimit-columns-extra t)
;;
;; If you select the lines above and type:
;;
;; M-x delimit-columns-region RET
;;
;; You obtain the following result:
;;
;; [ a , b , c , d ]
;; [ aaaa, bb , ccc , ddddd ]
;; [ aaa , bbb, cccc , dddd ]
;; [ aa , bb , ccccccc, ddd ]
;;
;; But if you select start from the very first b to the very last c and type:
;;
;; M-x delimit-columns-rectangle RET
;;
;; You obtain the following result:
;;
;; a [ b , c ] d
;; aaaa [ bb , ccc ] ddddd
;; aaa [ bbb, cccc ] dddd
;; aa [ bb , ccccccc ] ddd
;;
;; Now, if we change settings to:
;;
;; (setq delimit-columns-before "<")
;; (setq delimit-columns-after ">")
;;
;; For the `delimit-columns-region' example above, the result is:
;;
;; [ <a> , <b> , <c> , <d> ]
;; [ <aaaa>, <bb> , <ccc> , <ddddd> ]
;; [ <aaa> , <bbb>, <cccc> , <dddd> ]
;; [ <aa> , <bb> , <ccccccc>, <ddd> ]
;;
;; And for the `delimit-columns-rectangle' example above, the result is:
;;
;; a [ <b> , <c> ] d
;; aaaa [ <bb> , <ccc> ] ddddd
;; aaa [ <bbb>, <cccc> ] dddd
;; aa [ <bb> , <ccccccc> ] ddd
;;
;; Note that `delimit-columns-region' operates over the entire selected
;; text region, extending the region start to the beginning of line and
;; the region end to the end of line. While `delimit-columns-rectangle'
;; operates over the text rectangle selected which rectangle diagonal is
;; given by the region start and end.
;;
;; See `delimit-columns-format' variable documentation for column formatting.
;;
;; `delimit-columns-region' is useful when you have columns of text that
;; are not well aligned, like:
;;
;; horse apple bus
;; dog pineapple car
;; porcupine strawberry airplane
;;
;; `delimit-columns-region' and `delimit-columns-rectangle' handle lines
;; with different number of columns, like:
;;
;; horse apple bus
;; dog pineapple car EXTRA
;; porcupine strawberry airplane
;;
;; Use `delimit-columns-customize' to customize delim-col package variables.
