It would probably be worth adding this information to the Wiki about Daffodil style guidelines. I've also created DAFFODIL-2133 to enable the sbt-sclariform plugin so that we can have automated checks for style during builds, and could also give guidance to people on how to configure their IDE on what options should be set. - Steve On 5/21/19 6:57 PM, Beckerle, Mike wrote: > Recent code reviews have turned up lots of spurious whitespace changes in my > code.
