Answer 2

I personally don't think that is beautiful at all. But if you want to do it, you're talking about adding indentations in a file once it is opened. You would need to edit the code of the program that opens the file or a separate script that can parse a text file and add the proper tabbed characters.

Steps would be something like:
1. open file
2. parse text
- look for punctuation to be tabbed
-- if it exists
--- count text already there
--- add tabs to fill up to length of where the punctuation needs to be (Position - Txt already there)
--- move to next line
-- if it doesn't exist, move to next line
3. save or show final edited file

I hope you're talking about using a viewer where each character has the same width, or else that would be ugly :)
