 This plugin makes use of external formatting programs to achieve the best results.
 Check the list of formatprograms below to see which languages are supported by default.

+You can easily customize existing formatprogram definitions or add your own formatprogram.

 vim-autoformat falls back by default to indenting, (using vim's auto indent functionality), retabbing and removing trailing whitespace.
