Please use a better Text Editor component.It is impossible to have a discussion about language syntaxif one cannot even post a properly formatted piece of code as example.(The text in my previous post got re-formatted).. That really sucks!

Oh, God! I have never read such a bad article like this one! It has a long, "saying-about-nothing" introduction, followed by a badly formatted body, and... suddenly ends. The irony of this article is it is about formatting, but the format of the article is unrankable. Has it been written by a beginner?

The examples in section 8 show some loop and local variables (i,a,b,c,x) in lowercase. Is this an error or is there a rule missing?

Is there an updated Style Guide document?In D2005/D2006 this statement causes some problems:"Block comments used to describe a method should appear before the method declaration."..using ctrl+shift+c once you insert a new method prototype the actual method is automatically created right after an existing comment moving that existing comment on the top of the new method! e.g.://comment for procedure Aprocedure A;beginend;//comment for procedure Cprocedure B; <-- new automatically inserted procedurebeginend;procedure C;beginend;

re:Better way of formatting Logical Statements - "braces indentation"

2004-07-06T22:36:43-07:00

I entirely agree with Raymond, but with one addition, that sometimes is very useful. If logical statement becomes too complex, you may wish to indent it on braces. A sample worth many words:if (a and b) or ( (c and d) and (e or f) and ( h and (i or j) ) ) or (q < r) or (p and q) thenbegin...but in case of real, not example-like statements it should be more clear, I think.Sorry for my possibly terrifying English - ask me if something is unclear.
