Research direction

Start by locating the current document-formatting entry point and any formatter tests; the issue does not name files or tests. Define the supported whitespace rules beyond line edges, including the shown assignment and arithmetic example, then add coverage demonstrating that the formatter produces the agreed output.

Description

enhancement

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).
