Coding style guidelines

The coding style is periodically enforced with perltidy. You will find here a description of the perltidy rules used in Sympa.

Based on the perltidy configuration file:

Perltidy’s option	Meaning
-bar	Opening brace always on right, not on a new linge
-bbt=1	Medium block brace tightness
-bt=2	Strong brace tightness
-pt=2	Strong parenthesis tightness
-sbt=2	Strong square bracket tightness
-vt=2	Maximal vertical tightness
-ce	Cuddled else (the else is on the line of the if closing brace)
-cti=0	No extra indentation for closing brackets
-i=4	Indent level is 4 cols
-ci=4	Continuation indent is 4 cols
-l=78	Max line width is 78 cols
-nolc	Don't outdent long comments
-nolq	Don't outdent long quoted strings
-nsbl	No opening sub brace on new line
-nsfs	No space before semicolons
-sbcp='#'	Don't format non-static block comments automatically
-wba="% + - * / x != == >= <= =~ !~ < > | & >= < = **= += *= &= <<= &&= -= /= |= >>= ||= .= %= ^= x="	Wants breaks after those token types
