The book paradigm for improved maintenance

The authors propose a book paradigm of program formatting that they believe is the most appropriate typographic organization of source-code documents.

They describe two experiments that confirm these benefits.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
