Various programming styles use blank lines in different places.
indent has a number of options to insert or delete blank lines in
specific places.
The `-bad' option causes indent to force a blank line after
every block of declarations. The `-nbad' option causes
indent not to force such blank lines.
The `-bap' option forces a blank line after every procedure body. The `-nbap' option forces no such blank line.
The `-bbb' option forces a blank line before every boxed comment (See section 1.5 Comments.) The `-nbbb' option does not force such blank lines.
The `-sob' option causes indent to swallow optional blank
lines (that is, any optional blank lines present in the input will be
removed from the output). If the `-nsob' is specified, any blank
lines present in the input file will be copied to the output file.
