... how about a parameter to set the maximum indentation? I think the
automatic identation works just great for up to about 25 characters,
afterwards I second Jeff in that you end up with long lines unwanted.

I must admit I haven't downloaded 4.7 yet, and as I will not be
developing any IDL code this year, I will probably wait for 4.8 ;-)
But I really like the drive that you, Carsten, put behind this, and I
will enjoy to see my feature request in action.

Cheers,
Martin
