Sharing something small that helped me during AL code reviews.
While reviewing some AL code before the holiday shutdown, I ran into deeply nested logic that was hard to follow. This is pretty common in Business Central projects, especially as extensions grow.
To make structure easier to see during reviews, I wrote a small VS Code extension called AL Indent Prism.
It adds subtle background colors to each indent level so you can visually follow nesting without changing your code.
- Works only on AL files
- Supports light and dark themes
- Does not modify code or formatting
I wrote a short post explaining why I built it and how it works here:

The extension is open source, so feedback, issues, or pull requests are very welcome.
Hopefully this helps other Business Central developers when dealing with deeply nested AL during reviews.
