Think VLIDE but from the year 2018 instead of 1999.

I found some hiccups in the pretty-printer function. Sometimes it adds additional lines
of existing code.

before pretty-printing:

(defun get_text     (/ text-obj text-obj-data retval)

  (setq text-obj (nentsel))

  (cond

<more code>

after pretty-printing:

(defun get_text (/ text-obj text-obj-data retval)

(defun get_text   (/ text-obj text-obj-data retval)

  (setq text-obj (nentsel))

  (cond

  <moe code>

I have not found a pattern of this behavior so far, will file a support request today.
So maybe be careful when using the pretty-printer.

I really like the Blade. It is better than its ACAD predecessor which ACAD dumped for Visual Basics. It left me feeling "had". I did Visual Basics for a while, but then thought... what happens when they dump this? So I switched to PASCAL (Delphi, and then Lazarus), and used text editor's for LISP. The latter was tough going with all of the parenthesis until NotePad++ came along.

The better side of the story is that the BricsCAD LISP is also faster than ACAD LISP... and now there is an editor. Its matching parenthesis are really popping.

Torsten is reliant for all the issues all the developper will find. We only made this Blade in some Month and with a lot of nightwork.
Hoping all the guys will use this debugger for getting more effective and fun at their develloping work. Now BricsCAD makes an big step... i guess

Anyone else having issues with formatting in BLADE ?

I have had several files with "unbalanced closing parentheses" errors after formatting.

I cannot reconstruct the problem formatting the individual functions.
