Lines are like VERTICAL tabs/spaces, and if needed (which

Whoever recommends HORIZONTAL tabs/spaces for context formatting

There is no “left” or “right” justified. “Justification” means filling out
the line with text.

And a “fantasist” is someone associated with one of those things, but not
the other.

Comments could be better, and colorizing would be best.

Recall that the first written languages, like Chinese, went
up to down, i.e. vertically.

The human brain prefers a vertical orientation when grasping
sections.

When dealing with deeply nested structure, the horizontal indents
will literally start pushing code way off the page. In such
cases vertical indentation is almost mandatory.

Others will object and criticize, but then their brains are
not human.

Huh, apparently it's called "flush left/right" officially. Every program
I've used call it left/right justification.

Actually in the printing business there is left and right justification —
along with full justification (usually just called justification).

Justification refers to the alignment of text within a given area in a
document.

Text can be left-justified (aligned to the left margin), right-justified
(aligned to the right margin), centered, or fully justified (aligned with
both margins).

That's also how printers usually refer to it (left justified) — at least in
the U.S. But I've also heard them use "flush left" and "left aligned."

Employers won't accept such bumbling. But you're unemployable as a
programmer, so you can write all the left-justified crap-code you want.

Vertical doesn't require comparison with stuff written earlier in the
code to sense the grouping, so you have a point there. Makes it faster
to read.

In the conventional way, when code groupings takes them too far to the
right, it can be remedied by creating a function or a subroutine to
shorten the width.

For me, the ideal way has been to use an IDE that separates groups
horizontally, but also draws a vertical line to connect the beginning
and end statements of each group. There was one and I used it years
back, now I don't know which IDE it was. It really helped with eye
fatigue that's formed by constantly trying to imagine the groupings
without such lines, and only using the relative indentations between them.

No idea what kind of programs you’ve used, then. The proper term is “left/
right alignment”.

I think of alignment more in the context of string formatting where you'er
specifying a field width and whether the first character will be at the
beginning of the field or the last character will be at the end of the
field with leading space padding if necessary.

Left-justified and left-aligned are two different features. Jesus.

A quoted paragraph in the middle of left-justified texts can have
indentation compared to the text above and below, and yet be
"left-aligned".

English language usage changes. The meaning of "left justified" is clear to
most English speakers.

I think the concept is already clear to most of us, whether we use the term
"left justified", "left aligned" or "flush left." But if you need the chart
for clarification, then I'm glad it's there for you.
