Hi!
Sorry about the off-topic, but Eclipse is driving me nuts with
this. I like to leave a space before and after everything between
parenthesis, like:
object.method( argument );
This is the worst use of white space, as explained on this page on the
correct use of typography (about 2/3rds down):
http://screenfont.ca/fonts/today/interim/Arial/
It's picky, I know. I'd rather follow what the typographers say and
have respect for that art and science. Alas, this is becoming more
widely used in natural language( it's not right )maybe from
programmers who are adopting this bad style more and more, because
programs should not be natural language, right? The natural place for
a space is outside parentheses and brackets:
object.method (argument);
(The rest of the above web site is interesting to ban all those wacky
MS fonts, such as Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana, etc.)
Fortunately, more editors these days are able to format according to
preferences of individual viewers.
instead of
object.method(argument);
The problem is that Eclipse prefers the second way, and every time
it touches the code for some reason (reformatting, auto-complete,
etc) I have to add the spaces manually. How can I convince Eclipse
to do what I want?
Yours
Miguel Arroz
