Some things were covered in the old howto (for those who can't remember, see the history of howto.xml in the root of phpdoc). These were mainly function naming standards, that are part of the php-dev work standards, and not phpdoc conventions. The only rule stayed is the use 4 spaces rule. Where can we find other "standards" developed in the past for phpdoc? > After PEAR was born, Stig or other persons wrote another > for PEAR. Both standards differ in many places.

OK, if you can show a written down standard somewhere, even if it was somewhere there in the history, but now not active, we can start off from that... Goba
