The sane option are either to acknowledge that code is in a text 
file and choose syntax construct that make it readable (python) 
or decorrelate the presentation of the code from its actual form 
in the file and use a formatted.

Other options are choosing on purpose to inflict an extra 
workload to yourself, and risking confusion on badly formatted 
code.
