13.1.1 Alignment Control

Programs can be easier to read if certain constructs are vertically aligned. By default all alignments are set ON. Through the -A0 switch you may reset the default to OFF, and then use one or more of the other -An switches to activate alignment for specific constructs.

-A0

Set all alignments to OFF

-A1

Align : in declarations

-A2

Align := in initializations in declarations

-A3

Align := in assignment statements

-A4

Align => in associations

-A5

Align at keywords in the component clauses in record representation clauses

The -A switches are mutually compatible; any combination is allowed.
