Abstract
Until recently, the researchers in the C.R.I.S.S Research Center dealing particularly with teaching beginners the writing of Pascal programs meet some problems concerning the presentation of the programs. The Pascal language is a structured one, the teachers wants to provide a model of the presentation of the Pascal program which facilites the correction and make the program readable by other programers. We propose an automatic formatting programs for responding to this aim. Results have been positive. The students produce organized programs and the presentation provided helps the students in the detection of bad constructs and the teachers in having a readable programs which are presented in the same way by the students.
