Well, in HTML and CSS at least, alignment and justification are actually
synonymous.
I didn't actually say I thought that was the correct way to handle
computerCode, just that it was the way it was being handled now.

Should that really be part of formatting? The others seem to be related to
line margin. Personally, I think alignment and justifying should be seperate
fields, but I guess that is a whole other issue.

I think it treats it as computer braille and honors new-line chars, kind of
like the <pre> element in HTML. I' not sure if it includes the start and end
computer braille symbols. I suppose it does.

LOL, well I had read that but was hoping someone could explain it in a clearer
manner. So it is an adjusted index based on the margin is that the gist of it?
Also, how exactly is computer code formatted in braille?

From the manual although the language is pretty bad:
The format setting controls how the text in the style will be formatted. Valid
values are `leftJustified', `rightJustified', `centered', `computerCoded',
`alignColumnsLeft', `alignColumnsRight', and `contents'. The first three are
self-explanatory. `computerCoded' is used for computer programs and similar
material. The next two are used for tabular material. `alignColumnsLeft' causes
the left ends of columns to be aligned. `alignColumnsRight' causes the right
ends of columns to be aligned. `contents' is used only in styles specifically
intended for tables of contents.
...
The contents1, etc. styles all have the format contents setting. This is a
variant of the leftJustified format. It has been necessary to change the way
firstLineIndent is handled to accommodate multilevel lists. Up till now, if
firstLineIndent was negative, the first line would start at the real left
margin, regardless of the value of leftMargin. Now the value of firstLineIndent
is simply added to leftMargin. This means that if it is negative it is really
subtracted. For example, if leftMargin is 4 and firstLineIndent is -2 the first
line will start in cell 2. If the result of adding these two values is negative
it is set to 0.

I am looking at the nimas.cfg file. What does format contents and also format
computer coded mean?
