computeFromPrecedingElements

Computes the indentation that should be used based on the elements preceding the current position. This analyzes the elements to find the last newline and extracts all whitespace characters that follow it. This method is used when we need to match existing indentation in the source code.

Return

list of indentation elements (spaces/tabs) after the last newline, or empty list if no newline found

Parameters

precedingElements

elements before the current position
