Abstract
An editor or software engineering tool may be configured to render whitespace between adjacent tokens, wherein the amount of whitespace between any two adjacent tokens is determined according to language-specific style rules and scaled in accordance with display considerations. In some realizations, the operative scaling is selected or defined by a user according to the user's visual preferences. In some realizations, the operative scaling relates to requirements or constraints of an automated layout mechanism. For example, a particular scaling may be calculated to adjust line length in conformance with a desired margin alignment or to optimize layout when long lines are automatically wrapped (or folded) in some automatic way.
