But I also recognize that my opinion is the less standard one. If spaces must be used, I do think it's best to standardize on 4 spaces for an indentaion. This is, in my experience, by far the most common way to standardize. If we go with 4 spaces, we'll be much more likely to get patches that actually comply... -Stephen On 6/20/06, Ugo Cei wrote: > > On Jun 20, 2006, at 10:25 PM, James M Snell wrote: > > > To this point, the style I've been using as been the two-spaces indent > > for everything.
