None of that implies that the FORMATTING of the code is relevant. At all. It
has never been my experience that how the text file is formatted is relevant to a search engine, nor how it realistically could be.

The content of the original post may not have been clear to you. Tidy is not, and never was, just a pretty-printer. It flags, and optionally corrects, syntax and best-practice errors. It is reasonable to expect an indexing bot to take code quality into account when assessing the quality of a page. In fact, we hear exactly that from the direct experience of a professional, who turns out to be an enthusiast, but not a fool.

It's a reasonable expectation, but a couple of folks from Google answered a question about it a few years ago.
