There has been an 'indent' for C-programs for decades, and there's a
GNU-version of it, of course. But even the GNU-version is only useful
for C.
It could proove fairly easy to create an indent-program for scripts, using
lex and yacc to create a scanner and simple parser. The parser would only
have to recognise a few things, like 'if', 'while' and function calls.
And if it's so easy, probably someone's done it.
Are you sure you need it, anyway?
Happy Monday from Göttingen, Niedersachsen, Germany.
