readers find it easier to read print that is set with equal, rather than variable, spacing between words. Punctuation itself is said to have originated as a guide to the oral reading of written documents (such as proclamations). Until recently, statutes were not punctuated and, even now, the courts are reluctant to attach significance to punctuation. The legal tradition has been one of unadorned, linear text. Such visual aids to presentation as indentation (for example, to highlight the logical structure of paragraphs) are relatively recent innovations. Bhatia indicates that we can go much further in the use of non-linear alternatives to prose, such as logical trees or flow-charts, list structures and tabulated presentations. The use of such techniques deploys the resources of the vertical as well as the horizontal dimension of the printed page. But the written document remains restricted to those two dimensions.
