With the interleaved and sequential formats, the sequences must be all
of the same length. The names of the sequences are not truncated.
- The argument `indent' specifies how the rows of nucleotides are
+ The argument \code{indent} specifies how the rows of nucleotides are
indented. In the interleaved and sequential formats, the rows with
the taxon names are never indented; the subsequent rows are indented

format, the rows are not indented by default. This default behaviour
- can be modified by specifying a value to `indent': the rows are then

The different options are intended to give flexibility in formatting
the sequences. For instance, if the sequences are very long it may be
\value{
None (invisible `NULL').
