Help with punctuation

The example is hypothetical in that it assumes the whole pretext.

Also, is "in that" used in formal English as it has been in the given sentence?

Anonymous Also, is "in that" used in formal English as it has been in the given sentence? Yes. A comma is unnecessary and probably counterproductive.

Thanks. I actually meant this sentence:
The example is hypothetical in that it assumes the whole pretext.

I wanted to know if sentences that use 'in that' to mean 'as' need any particular punctuation , and if 'in that' is used in formal English as in the sentence.

That's the sentence I was referring to in my response.
