Can we all at least agree that continuation lines should always be at least one space more indented than the parent line?
At least one standard (four-column) indentation level further than the opening line.
Still overly strict. Consider: f(long_named_argument_one, calculated_value_two(with_arguments), another_argument) The two-space indent is perfectly reasonable here, as it aligns the first element (a function argument) with the same function's argument above it. In some cases, a similar one-space indent is also reasonable. I stand by my second proposal (reworded): Continuation lines should be indented to reflect the structure of the code. The indentation should either align with similar elements or match the surrounding source. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/ Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information.
