I have submitted patches in the past and others have complained about the format I use in the code. Since I have a glaucome-caused visual defect that has me preferring lots of whitespace, I tend away from the generic K-R style in preference to something a bit more open. I wonder if it isn't possible to simply have all patches and additions to SVN run through a code formatter/prettifier to get it into the format that most seem to prefer? I suspect that it must be done _after_ merging (otherwise the code prettifier wouldn't have a clue what to do). That would provide a uniform standard when the code is taken out of SVN and allow for "alien" formats for others. Mike
