There is a newer version: 1.12.1

Why is this an issue?

  In Delphi, indentation is an indicator of scope. Following this, top-level keywords and elements
  should never be indented, as it allows the structure of a unit to be read immediately at a glance.

Top level elements include:

  
    The file heading (unit, program, package, and library)
  
  
    Section headings (interface, implementation, initialization, finalization)
  
  
    Uses clauses (uses)
  
  
    Top-level type, var, and const sections
  
  
    Top-level begin and end
  
  
    Top-level routine declarations
  
  
    Routine implementations
  

How to fix it
Remove all indentation before the beginning keyword of the top-level element.
