formatting

This document is not complete. If a guideline for a particular format is missing, follow the style of existing code (prefer using Haiku sources as a reference for this). If you have suggestions for things that should be clarified better, etc. please let us know. Please don't send us suggestions of the kind "I like this indenting style better, could we switch?".

Some code doesn't match our guidelines in some places, due mainly to time constraints. Help with cleaning up the code is very welcome.

Rather than advocating a given coding style, the main goal here is code consistency - after a stream of external contributions and patches we would like the Haiku code base to remain clean, uniform, easy to read and maintain.
