## Older sources We do not actively search and reformat source files that are not formatted according to this convention. When a coder edits an older source file some reason (e.g. bug fixes or feature additions), he/she should reformat the file according to these specs. He/she should commit the reformatting separately, so as to separate reformatting changes from actual code changes. Cheers, Greg. > > Gr.
