Now, you say the contrary: we must have one useless to get people to follow a coding style - yes. see above. you find mine ugly. people just dont want to. useless in forcing it on them, but automatic re-formatting has been talked about for a long time. the problem has been lack of time and tools to do the job. > unique coding style. So i don't understand... Either you don't care about > what i say or else my english is too ugly. having people FORCED into having to indent in 1 way will never work. they use different editors. one guy has tabs set to 4, another to 8. they even may use different os's to edit (\n vs \r\n) etc. in the end you have a myriad of styles. evern with all the coding guidelines people ignore them. even with the "just follow the style that is there" guideline people ignore it. it doesnt work relying on people to do the formatting. if it is to be done, it needs to be as automated as possible. we can't automate everything - but we can do a fair chunk. > > if you notice the formatting doesn't even match what i have used in the past > > too > > Yes.
