- 8i, for one, would very much preffer the second style. after reading books and articles about writing clean code, going the extra mile to know "where" some stuff ends (not that it just ends), is okBelun– Belun2010-11-29 16:46:14 +00:00Commented Nov 29, 2010 at 16:46
- I used to put a blank between closing parentheses for opening parentheses on the same line and for those on previous lines. No, at the time my editor didn't highlight matching parentheses.starblue– starblue2010-12-01 07:49:52 +00:00Commented Dec 1, 2010 at 7:49

How to Format

like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
