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.
