Pretty printing

[project7800]

Is anyone aware of a utility program that would LIST STOS BASIC programs with indentation for loops? Similar to GFA BASIC,For example. A search on Atarimania didn’t turn up much.

Apart from the NON-pretty-printing utilities like the one hosted on Thorsten Otto's github https://github.com/th-otto/STOS/tree/master/tools, which could be improved upon given that the source is available.

The only other PC based utility I know of which did give indented loops and conditions was the work in progress STOSdev project by Simon Hazelgrove some years back.

Unfortunately I'm not aware if this project was completed or had a final version but I do have the version pictured above and will post if Simon allowed me to as I'm not sure how I ever came across it originally.

It was written in Microsoft .NET and I did decompile it once and started to port it to c++ for multiplatform conversion but never got far before losing interest.

Not sure if this can do what you require but you may want to take a look at the Visual Studio Code extension https://stoscoders.com/visual-studio-code

Thanks! I’ll look into these.
