<p>Wikipedia, purporting to quote Landin directly, gives the off-sides rule for significant whitespace as follows: "Any non-whitespace token to the left of the first such token on the previous line is taken to be the start of a new declaration." <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-side_rule#Definition" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-side</span><span class="invisible">_rule#Definition</span></a></p><p>Can someone explain how to read this sentence? I'm familiar with the idea but am baffled wrt the given wording. What is "first such token" referring to? Which token is "on the previous line"?</p>
