I'm interested in finding a C or Pascal program that formats a Pascal program in to a "pretty" format. This program would be used by students to help keep code listings readable. Please email any information to gec@cscosl.ncsu.edu. I will collect the responses and post a summary if there is enough interest. Thanks.

Why don't they "pretty" their code as they write it? Just give 'em a model and have 'em follow it...

There are also commercial formatters, but I gather that you are looking for PD. ...................................................................

I have a shareware "pretty printer" (Pascal source formatter) written several
years ago for Turbo Pascal version 3. I have used it many times, and like it
for what it does. Primarily I use it so that all Pascal reserved words are
in CAPS, Turbo Pascal enhancements are in UpperLower format, and any other
words are in lowercase. (Of course, it ignores anything within quotes or
comments.) This text formatting can be changed (such as my commands in all
CAPS and Standard Pascal in UpperLower format, with Turbo Pascal extensions
in lowercase. It also adds spaces to make the text more readable:
writeln(str(x*sin(25+something)-first));
becomes
WRITELN (x * SIN (25 + something) - first);
which makes things far more readable for most people. The only thing I
wish it had (and one day I will take the time to put it in) is something
to fix up indentation.
