So we are looking at a 4 space indentation for each basic block? if ($a) { do_stuff(); } How about "extended ifs"? if(<some very long condition> && <even more condition) do_stuff(); } - and - do_stuff unless <some very long condition> && <even more condition>; Would that be 4 spaces from the indentation (as shown above) or 4 spaces from the base line (would align the "<even more condition>" in the first part with "do_stuff()")? Alternatively do we do something different there? Are there other cases worth considering/debating? ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
