Looking at your code again, I now see what you mean. Though the indentation is still to shallow for my liking. I must admit, I did get used to your "all lower case code" style. :) > better visible.

My only exception is if the block of code following the "if" is a single line. For "case", "while", "repeat" I also always have begin-end pairs. > For me the worst possible indentation style is the style used in FPC RTL.

I often do the same. I have JCFgui (Jedit Code Formatter) preset with my coding style, always close at hand. > Amazing how different tastes can be. :-) For sure, but in a team the same coding style really helps making code easier to read. But when I contribute to somebody else's code, I always keep to their coding style out of respect. At least with TAB character indentation, there is some flexibility as to how much indentation each developer prefers - they must just adjust the TAB width to their liking. And with bigger indentations (greater than 1 space), the TAB actually makes the source files slightly smaller. I wonder if this actually has a speed improvement on parsers, because there is slightly less code to parse. :-) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
