What does NSOutlineView's setIndentationMarkerFollowsCell: method do? I can't tell from the docs, and the archives say nothing.

Here's what the docs say:

setIndentationMarkerFollowsCell:
- (void) setIndentationMarkerFollowsCell: (BOOL) drawInCell
Sets whether the expansion symbol in an item should be displayed in the cell with the item or left-justified in the column to drawInCell. The default is YES (the symbol is displayed in the cell).

The description doesn't make any sense. The phrase "the cell with the item" is meaningless since the any cell could display the item, or no cell, depending on the data source.

Actually, only the column that is set as the datasource column can display the indentation marker

Do they mean the "the outline column"? And the phrase "left-justified in the column to drawInCell" is simply unparseable.

It should be

Sets whether the indentation marker symbol displayed in the outline column should be indented along with the cell contents, or always displayed left-justified in the column. The default is YES, the indentation marker is indented along with the cell contents.

The existing text was confusing (and a bug as been filed), but the method name is actually quite clear. :-)
