I'd prefer they get their own line all the time :-), so I'll certainly agree with the sentiment of requiring them after a multi-line conditional. The rationale for the style guide here is simply that the extra whitespace "terminates" the multi-line conditional for the reader. [ my personal opinion is that the whitespace is always needed so the reader doesn't mistake the code for a multi-line conditional ] Note: I'm not desiring to raise a debate or change the style. Merely supporting the notion that a line of almost-whitespace should occur after the multi-line conditional. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
