Ignore these lines

Is there a way to tell styler not to style a subset of the lines in a file?
I couldn't find anything in the docs or the github issues.

Thanks for searching first :-) We decided against this in (agree hard to find) #365 for the reasons outlined there. Note that as far as alignment goes, there are considerations to detect certain patterns and don't apply styling, see #258.

If you want you can try the version of the WIP for detecting alignment, but no guarantees about future maintenance or further development. https://github.com/lorenzwalthert/styler/tree/detect-alignment. The goal is, however, to once finish this up and merge it into master. You can also subscribe to the other issue to make sure you don't miss anything.

@russHyde by popular request we think we might anyways implement this feature (although I don't recommend using it) and progress is tracked in #365 if you want to follow up on that.

Thanks. It was the introduction of the {{ syntax in rlang (and the expectation that additional syntax might be added that styler wouldn't immediately handle; I appreciate that you've addressed {{ in styler) that spurred me to ask about this. However, I've rethought my process and tried to remove 'weird new syntax' from my packages as much as possible ...

Ok. Yes, I suppose it would have been helpful for me to know that earlier, I could have pointed you to #528 :-). In almost any problem with styling, there is a general rule we can derive from it and which I am happy to implement (as it is obvious to me we need to handle {{). I'll make a CRAN submission soon as you might have seen in #556 so this should lower the barrieres to use styler again 😄 . In the meanwhile, you can just install from the master branch from GitHub.

We have a draft :-). Feedback welcome, please in the PR (#560), not here in the issue.
