Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Current document formatting only modifies preceding and trailing whitespace on lines. It would be great if it could handle more advanced formatting, like adjusting whitespace within a line (e.g. a = 4+ 5 formatted to a = 4 + 5).
