As pointed out in this question, in TeXShop there is no way to make source paragraphs (i.e. long lines with no hard wraps) follow source indents automatically, that is, while typing. The solution proposed in the accepted answer is unsatisfactory, in my opinion, as it requires manual insertion of line breaks at every single line... I believe you should not be forced to adopt such a behavior in year 2011, unless you are a big fan of old typewriters.
My ultimate goal is to obtain
readable, "programming language-style" source code, with indented blocks for environments,
and I would like to get that using TeXShop (I know that's easy using other editors, such as Emacs). My question is:
is there at least a way to obtain such a formatting after typing, e.g. using a macro which inserts line breaks in the right spots?
The first thing I tried is the following:
- Write the code naturally, with no indents nor hard wraps;
- Select any block (or even the whole code) and then apply Source > Wrap Lines > Hard Wrap from TeXShop's menu;
- Select any block you want to indent, and indent it using the appropriate command in the Source menu.
However this does not work nicely, because after you indent the block some lines may become too long for the editor window's width.

HTML element (suppose a style sheet is used to put giant quotation marks around this block?). Also, I think questions that use this kind of emphasis can be rewritten in a more readable manner without it.>
for emphasizing questions is recommended in MathOverflow's how to ask page. (MO is another StackExchange-based forum I'm using).
