Such as for enumerate environments to have indentation, in addition to tweaks to automatically indent entries in tables or matrices in math mode. For example, something like

\begin{enumerate}
  \item 1
        1.1
  \item 2
\end{enumerate}
\begin{align*}
F(-x) & =-(-x)^2 & G(-x) & =-(-x)^4 & H(-x) & =-(-x)^6 \\ 
      & =-x^2    &       & =-x^4    &       & =-x^6    \\    
      & =F(x)    &       & =G(x)    &       & =H(x)    
\end{align*}

    Most likely not. You can consider using latexindent outside of the online editor. – Werner May 10 '17 at 12:04

    @Werner, thanks! I just recently discovered latexindent, and thought it would be very useful to have a real-time script of a similar kind running in overleaf.. – user47207 May 10 '17 at 12:40

    (Disclaimer: I'm a support personnel at Overleaf.) Indeed there's no way to do this, I'm afraid. Sorry! – imnothere May 11 '17 at 02:03

    This would be a superbly useful feature to have in overleaf. Surprisingly, unlike many IDEs for regular programming languages, not many latex editors have proper indenting capabilities... – Joris Kinable Aug 13 '18 at 19:58
  • This is one of the main reasons I had to set up an offline setup. – Tejas Shetty Aug 04 '21 at 09:17

There is no way. Werner, imnotthere : support personnel at Overleaf, Joris Kinable have said so.

    For reference, latexindent.pl is actively developed and maintained, and is available as part of texlive, Miktex and is on ctan. Project home page: https://github.com/cmhughes/latexindent.pl – cmhughes Aug 06 '21 at 07:38

    latexindent.pl is a wonderful package. and the reason for me to shift to a local test distribution – Tejas Shetty Aug 06 '21 at 07:40
  • That's really great to hear, thank you :) – cmhughes Aug 06 '21 at 08:09

I am working in Overleaf also and needed this feature. Based on the top answer, I searched for a non-overleaf alternative. This online formatter worked like a gem for me: https://c.albert-thompson.com/latex-pretty/
