Here are some examples of styles I have seen:

Hope they are useful to you.
(From Alex: That's a really great start; I always overlook the fourth case you put out there.)
Posted by Jens Bannmann at January 27, 2007 11:12 PMIt sounds like you are going to hardcode a bunch of styles. What about doing it like eclipse - have a preference where you indicate your bracing style after ifs, etc.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your point though.
(From Alex: No, I'd prefer not to hardcode anything. I figure that I can come up with an algorithm to preserve original formatting for the 80% of the document the user doesn't change, and adjust the new content accordingly.
Preferences are definitely an option I'm thinking about. But I think it's best by default to preserve whatever formatting the original document has, to keep diff sizes down.)
