'''Pretty-printing''' (or '''prettyprinting''') is the application of any of various stylistic [[text formatting|formatting]] conventions to [[text file]]s, such as [[source code]], [[markup language|markup]], and similar kinds of content. These formatting conventions may entail adhering to an [[indentation style]], using different color and typeface to [[Syntax highlighting|highlight syntactic elements]] of source code, or adjusting size, to make the content easier for people to read, and understand. Pretty-printers for source code are sometimes called '''code formatters''' or '''beautifiers'''.
