Hi Mike,

I frequently use ocaml+twt and really got used to my quicker to
type and easier to read sources. Be blessed for writing it !

The only inconvenience I found is that column numbers in compiler
errors do not match the original source which sometimes makes 
debugging quite a pain.

Find attached a version which will put all the 'begins', 'ends' 
and parentheses at the end of the lines which also makes the 
generated code more pleasant to read.

I briefly tested my version on some simple code I had on hand.
I didn't test any complicated syntax. If you find any bugs
just tell me - I'm willing to review the changes again.

I just used the following vim commands to alter your code (v0.85). 
You may want to just apply these in case you already have a new version.
'400' is the line number where 'OCaml syntax formation' starts.

:%s/" *\(begin\|end\|(\|)\|;;\) *"/" \1"/g
:%s/\^ *"\\n"/\^ endl/g
:%s/ *\^ *endl / /g
:400,$s/^\([ \t]*\)\([a-z]*line .*\)/\1endl \^ \2/g
:400,$s/-> *\([a-z]*line .*\)/-> endl \^ \1/g
:400,$s/\([^l ] *\^ *\)\([a-z]*line \)/\1endl \^ \2/g
:%s/(printer syntax)/( Str.replace_first (Str.regexp "\\n") "" (printer syntax) )/g


Cheers

    Ingo
