Sami - Although you directed the question to Jukka, I'll express my opinion too (and I suspect that from what he said he will agree with me).
In my opinion, 4 characters express the logical hierarchy much more clearly than 2 characters, so 4 should be used. FWIW, the Sun conventions are pretty clear about indentation levels being visually 4 characters width in difference, although they introduce tab chars which wreak havoc on the readability for many editor configurations. - Keith Sami Siren-2 wrote: > > Jukka Zitting wrote: >> Hi, >> >> On 9/21/07, Chris A.
