I played around with the idea a bit yesterday night (the nights are really hot this time in .de :)), and here's a prototype that does some good formatting on my coding style. I don't know how well it works for other coding styles, and the implementation is a bit crude ...
I couldn't get your elegant idea of "most single lines should compile" to work for me, so I resorted mostly to static REs - quite unelegant, as any such list is bound to be incomplete ...
Anyway, if anybody wants to have a look at how a heuristic markup could be done, here's the code (the code is still a bit confused about CODE and PRE tags, but you should get the intention ...) :
Update :D'oh - as soon as I go offline, I see
many problems with the code. So here's an updated version ... Hmm - and I follow the suggestion and put the code into the Code Catacombs instead of posting it here ... The Code

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).
