I worked as a programmer for ages and I never ever used brltty for this
sort of things.
Identation is within the text and to be interpreted by the reader.
There are programs to put identation on a source code within Linux e.g..
If you use a 40 cell display then you are using the wrong hammer for the
job.
In my professional life I alwasy worked with 80 cell displays.
