>it always like this and i beautify codes like this in notepad++ (menu edition/indentation: increase (tab)/decrease (shift+tab)).this works correctly.

Beautifier works if you chop the lines to below 255 characters. And if this is Base64, it won't matter that has line breaks, base64 ignores them. Or even if this is for some lame implementation of it which insists on no line breaks, there's an appropriate Pretext clause in the Text statement to remove them from the result.
