214.0. "Why is <LINE>(INDENT\...) limited to 3 levels?" by SARAH::P_DAVIS (Peter Davis, X-NYer) Tue Apr 07 1987 15:49
Based on a suggestion from Patti Anklam, I used the <LINE>(INDENT\unit)
tag to format some pseudo-code in a technical paper I was writing.
I wanted the code to look like an algorithm written in a structured
programming language, where indenting can be used to indicate
structure. Since the pseudo-code contained a lot of math, the various
code/example tags didn't seem to fit the bill.
Luckily, I was able to get by with 3 levels of indentation. However,
I noticed that the documentation for <LINE> specifies that that's
the limit. Why? Is there any chance of lifting this restriction
in future? I can easily imagine a need for representing more complex
algorithms, in which more levels of indentation would be needed.

The limit is easily increased. I selected what I thought was a 'safe'
value to keep people from ending up with terrible TeX errors if
they got too deeply nested. I'll try to run some tests to see how
far over one may safely go...
