>* Good morning everyone,
*
*<snip>Regarding indenting (obviously a personal taste)...*>>>* I also
agree here, but unlike you, I like to put them at the head of the
*>>* subordinate phrase, not at the tail of the header:
*>>>>* if a > 10
*>>* then blah
*>>* else bleh
*>>* fi
*>>
*The above is quite clean, and concise and matches Algol 68 ability
for concise expressions.*
*Moreover, it has the desirable quality in that it is visually
distinct from many of the other styles found in c, etc.It almost acts
to train the brain to continue "thinking in Algol 68".*
*So, that would be my (personal) preference for the guidelings.*
*/James
