I think Doug's point is that if you use a monospaced font, you can set a tab
stop equivalent to a certain number of spaces. For example, 12 pt Courier
New is equivalent to 10 pitch, so half an inch equals five spaces. But
instead of using spaces OR tabs to indent the text, use an indent or hanging
indent. For the example you gave
FunctionName() {
Line1();
Line2();
you an use a style with a hanging indent at the position where you want
Line1 and Line2. Instead of pressing Enter, press Shift+Enter to insert a
line break.
