Polystyle keeps track of indentation from code braces as well as from HTML tags. This makes the resulting source much easier to read.

Example:

    <%
        while (x)
            {
    %>
    
            <table a = "b">
                <td>
                    Text
    
    <%
            }
    %>

Sometimes PHP expressions need to remain merged with the surrounding HTML. Polystyle understands this and will not insert whitespace where it should not.

Example:

    This is the <%= $n %>th item in file_<%= $fileNum %>.

Polystyle parses deeply into HTML tag values and correctly formats PHP expressions it finds there.

Example:

    <a href=/file_<%= getFileName($i + $y)%>.html>

Polystyle intelligently groups together and aligns C++ style comments.

Example:

    var $i = 0;               // id counter
    $s.optimize($i, $a, $b);  // optimize transaction

    do {
        &i++;                 // scan through
    } while (&s.inspect(&i)); // find any bad ids

    // clean up bad files
    for (int $j = 0; $i != $h; $j++) {
        file $f = open($myFiles[$j]); // get latest copy
        $f.delete();                  // wipe it out
    }
