ABSTRACT:
The process of formatting source code is improved by the use of different nesting pitches for different nesting levels, by the use of different pitches for the same indentation level in different sections of the code, and by the use of one or more maximum indentation amounts. These three improvements enable the formatter to increase the amount of source code that may be presented to a viewer in a given presentation area, such as a computer screen or sheet of paper, while largely maintaining or even improving the visual clarity of the presentation.
