[nfbcs] Brailling computer code for embossing and display on a refreshable braille display

[Don Winiecki]

Apologies in advance for what might be something I should already know.  I have searched for an answer online with a moderate level of diligence, but without success.
 
I am a sighted braille transcriber and I have a question about formatting when brailling content that is intended for embossing, but which may also be read on refreshable braille devices (RBD).  This question has come up in my embossing of a computer science textbook with programming code that should be displayed with specific line indenting and line breaks.
 
When brailled content is to be embossed on the usual 11" x 11.5" paper, it is formatted with a 40-cell line length.  If a BRF file is displayed by a RBD with 40-cell width, formatting would display as expected with hard line breaks and indenting retained from the original. However, if displayed by a RBD with less than a 40-cell width, I am not certain how line breaks and indenting will be displayed.

Does a RBD retain indenting and line breaks as would a programmer's editor like EMACS, or are wrap-around lines displayed starting at cell 1?
 
Is there a way to format a BRF file so all formatting of computer code is retained?
