StyLua is a formatter for lua/luau, StyLua-Roblox is a plugin to use StyLua in Roblox Studio.
Compared to roblox’s format document feature, StyLua offers lot of different formatting configuration.
more information about the details of each option can be found here
Once installed, you can run the program and use the plugin on Studio, You need to run the program at background while using the plugin.
(program runs at your system tray)
To Format, click the StyLua button or bind a shortcut from shortcut settings.
Formatting with a script editor open will format the current script.
To format multiple scripts, close the script editor and select the scripts you want to format from Explorer and format.
To Change the Configuration of StyLua, Click the Open Settings Button.
These settings are user only and will be used when there is no place-only setting.
To Create Place-only Settings, Add a module named StyLua (case-sensitive) to ServerStorage.
Copy the Settings from Open Settings menu and paste it in, plugin will use these settings.

in your examples you do something weird methods to achieve your “long string.”
You can do multiple lines using [[ ]]
for example:
local longString = [[ hello world
I love pizza
Yay]]
print(longString)
All of the other stuff you do is done by roblox automatically when you copy and paste a script. I feel like you wasted your time making this.

The code in the example demonstrates line breaking on concat , not multiline strings.
Also, the examples are using default settings which is suppose to be as default as possible, while giving you option to config as you like.
you might want to check out before giving your “feedback”

I still cant see a purpose. I think it should instead organize the code, convert names to camelCase, and other formatting things roblox doesn’t do automatically.

My god. I’ve been using JohnyMorganz’ stylua (on VSCode). But now on studio? Now this is 2024!
