find_start_pos_id {styler} | R Documentation

## Find legit starting value for a new positional id

### Description

Looks at the current nest as well as into its children (if necessary) to make sure the right id is returned. Otherwise, ordering of tokens might not be preserved.

### Usage

    find_start_pos_id(pd, pos, by, direction, after, candidates = NULL)

### Arguments

`pd` | A parse table.
`pos` | The position where the new id should be inserted.
`by` | By how much the reference `pos_id` should be increased / decreased to create a new id.
`direction` | Derived from `after`. `1` if `after = TRUE`, `-1` otherwise.
`after` | Boolean indicating whether it should be inserted after or before `pos`.
`candidates` | The `pos_ids` of the candidates that origin from other nests.
