[question] cargo add a dep as [dependencies.$dep-name] in Cargo.toml

[alexzanderr]

i tried looking in the --help of the cargo add but could find anything on how to add a dependency like this:

[dependencies.doc-comment]
version = "0.3.3"
optional = true

for example i want to add doc-comment like this running this command:

cargo add doc-comment --optional --as-block

is there a way to do that ?

There is not.

The challenge is in keeping things focused and not handle every type of formatting decision.

cargo add has moved to the cargo repo. In doing so, we made the decision to not support customizing the formatting but having a canonical format. Formatting would then be left to a manifest formatting tool, see #728
