Yes and no...
If your familar with the program "indent", there are "common styles",
but as others have stated, there are no standard for everyone.
The "common styles" listed in "man indent" are:
GNU
Kerningham & Richie (damn good book by them if you dont have it)
Berkeley
I'd start by looking at those if your going for a "more common" style,
but then again, styles are a very individual thing, I personally don't
like any of those, so I use my own style, *shrug* all personal
preference.
But hey, this gives you a place to start.
