Newlines within custom recipes

[KnightWhoSaysNeeeowWumPing]

Hello there,

I was wondering if there is a way of inserting additional newlines into custom recipes.

Consider the following configuration (~/.vimrc):

let g:sanwich#recipes = deepcopy(g:sandwich#default_recipes)
let g:sanwich#recipes += [
\ {'buns': ['%START', '%END'], 'nesting': 1, 'input': ['x'], 'filetype': ['tex', 'plaintex']},
\ ]

When I now select the whole line bbb within the following example .tex file ...

aaa
bbb
ccc

... and type sax, the resulting output is:

aaa
%START
bbb
%END
ccc

Just as expected.

Is it however possible to insert an additional newline? Something like:

aaa
% START

bbb

% END
ccc

And if so, what should the recipe/buns configuration look like?

Thank you for your time and your awesome plugin!

How about this?

let g:sanwich#recipes = deepcopy(g:sandwich#default_recipes)
let g:sanwich#recipes += [
\ {'buns': ["%START\n", "\n%END"], 'nesting': 1, 'input': ['x'], 'filetype': ['tex', 'plaintex']},
\ ]

It might be better to make it work linewise always or limit it to work only with linewise block. For instance:

let g:sanwich#recipes += [
\ {'buns': ["%START\n", "\n%END"], 'nesting': 1, 'input': ['x'], 'filetype': ['tex', 'plaintex'], 'linewise': 1},
\ ]

or

let g:sanwich#recipes += [
\ {'buns': ["%START\n", "\n%END"], 'nesting': 1, 'input': ['x'], 'filetype': ['tex', 'plaintex'], 'motionwise': ['line']},
\ ]

Wow, now I feel stupid...
I tried with \n but only using single quotes ' instead of double quotes ". 🤦

Thank you very much! Also for pointing out the linewise parameter - that's very handy, indeed 😄
