Using

Install the latest version from https://www.nuget.org/packages/StringBuffer/

Then use stringBuffer and indent to write your code that writes code.

stringBuffer {
    "let square x ="
    indent {
        "x * x"
    }
}

stringBuffer and indent can both be nested in each other and will correctly produce output indented as expected.

let namespaces = seq {
    "System"
    "System.IO"
}

let formattedCode = stringBuffer {
    namespaces |> Seq.map (fun ns -> "open " + ns)

    ""
    "module MyModule"
    indent {
        "let LifeUniverseAndEverything () ="
        indent {
            "42"
        }
    }
}

open System
open System.IO

module MyModule
    let LifeUniverseAndEverything () =
        42
