Eric,

Is that what it is really called? Pretty printing? Or is that a translation thing?

It just sounds a little funny.

It's really called that.
I *think* the name was first used in Lisp back in the 60s .... certainly it was in common use by the time I got involved in computers (1970), though it was still a "feature" then; it has become so ubiquitous that the word itself is less frequently needed these days - everyone knows programs should be laid out sensibly (even if they don't agree on what is sensible :-)
