I don't know, but I for one don't really believe in syntax coloring or other tools that try to make any code automatically readable.
As an example, take a look at the ugly regex in Decode LaTeX flying accents. The regex is broken to lines with the /x switch to make it readable, but that still doesn't help. The problem with that regex is that I wrote that way back before support of perl 5.10 was universally available, thus the regex does not use named captures, even though it would really need them. An automatic reformatting tool will not provide you meaningful names for the named captures.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
