A couple of very common formats are p { color: red; font-size: 1em; } p { color: red; font-size: 1em; } p {color: red; font-size: 1em;} I kind of like the properties on separate lines, and even tabbing them in to make them more obvious Now, at the risk of sounding promotional, Style Master, which I am one of the developers of (by the way, it is Australian, for what it's worth, don't let the .com address fool you :-) has a Format Style Sheet feature. You simply format a dummy rule in the options/preferences window, then you can apply this to any style sheet. Style aster will automatically format your style sheets as you go, when you use its editors. BTW, we've just upgraded Style Master to 3.5. It's for Mac and Windows, and you can get more information here. http://www.westciv.com/style_master/ And even though my partner at westciv, Maxine, will kill me (don't tell her ok) for WSG members here is a little special offer. Get Style Master for US$49.99 instead of $59.99, but only here https://order.kagi.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?storeID=WC3&&; and only for a limited time (until Maxine finds out :-) thanks, john John Allsopp :: westciv :: software, courses, resources for a standards based web style master blog http://westciv.typepad.com/dog_or_higher/ http://www.westciv.com/
