It looked pretty explicit to me:
The golden rule of indentation ... you will do fairly well if you just remember a single rule: Code which is part of some expression should be indented further in than the beginning of that expression (even if the expression is not the leftmost element of the line).
This means for example that f (g x y z) is OK but f (g x y z) is not.
Sure. So my first question boils down to which of the two alternatives below does the community prefer? (To be clear about the intended semantics: this is the application of the function f to the arguments x, y, and z.) f x y z or f x y z Both are correct, in most contexts. And then there's the second question: if the second alternative is preferable, is there a way to get haskell-mode to do it automatically? As it is, it refuses to indent y any farther to the right than in the first alternative. I can space it in by hand, and then haskell-mode puts z under y, but that's annoying, and it gets in the way of reindenting large regions of code automatically. Richard
