Example

Ugly code before transforming with robotidy:

*** Settings ***
Force Tags  tags  tag2
Library  Collections
Resource  important.robot
Library   MyCustomLibrary.py

Test Setup  Setup Keyword

*** test case*
Test1
    [ teardown]  Teardown Keyword
    Keyword
    FOR  ${var}  IN RANGE  10
    Run Keyword If  ${var}>5  Other Keyword
    END
*** Variables ***
${var}=  2
${bit_longer}  10
${var2}   a
...  b

*** Keywords ***

A lot prettier code after:

*** Settings ***
Library         Collections
Library         MyCustomLibrary.py
Resource        important.robot

Test Setup      Setup Keyword

Force Tags      tags    tag2

*** Variables ***
${var}              2
${bit_longer}       10
${var2}             a
...                 b

*** Test Cases ***
Test1
    Keyword
    FOR    ${var}    IN RANGE    10
        IF    ${var}>5
            Other Keyword
        END
    END
    [Teardown]    Teardown Keyword
