Summary0008094: Provide a canonical style for source code layout
DescriptionA clear recommendation how TTCN-3 source code should be formatted would be beneficial:

* Tool-vendors had a solid ground to implement automatic formatter tools.

* Less time would be spent on "bike-shedding" discussions (e.g. tabs vs. spaces).

* A canonical style improves readability of TTCN-3 source code (e.g. of conformance tests, code examples, ...).

 TTF discussion: Nice to have, possibly these guidelines may be put into an annex (style guide) together with valuable compiler switches.

 TTF discussion: Code style should not become part of the standard. Maybe guidelines should be added to the TTCN-3 Web pages in the same manner as the already existing naming conventions.

 I might have put my CR into the wrong category/project. It is not my intention to standardize a specific code style.

Adding the recommendations to the web pages is a good idea, clearly.

We agree on recommending a preferred/canonical code style, but details about what style and where to put it are still to be figured out. Correct?

So the next step would be creating a recommendation draft?

 Core language shall not be mixed up with coding style guides and in general the coding style shall be project specific. Nevertheless, a configurable 'beautifier' tool could be helpful, e.g. to achieve a common indentation.
