Formatting

For the creation of macros the user shall format in a legible way. This format however corresponds to the habits of each user and thus cannot be dictated.

It is a matter of legibility to start a new line for each command and to indent commands within blocks.

Please compare the following two text sections

       WHILE(INDEX<10){CREATE POINT CAR INDEX*100,100!
       MODIFY VAR N INDEX;OFFSET=1!}

       WHILE ( INDEX <10 )
       {
          CREATE POINT CAR INDEX*100,100!
          MODIFY VAR N INDEX;OFFSET=1!
       }

For the interpreter the formatting of the commands is of no importance. It is a matter of legibility only.
