"by giving a parse error if we break any of its rules" -- well, you hope, right? My own preferences: * Don't leave trailing white space in your code. * Use one tab to indent each level. Display them at 4 space boundaries. * Aim to keep lines under about 150 characters. * Use the CamelCase variable naming convention. * Use explicit braces and semicolons. Use "Allman" style. * Put a newline at the end of the file. * Prefix constructor names with "Mk" if there's only one in the type. * Move private definitions to other "where" clauses where possible. * Never use any unsafe functions (besides FFI). This is Haskell. * Compile with "-Wall -Werror". This implies lots of type signatures. For the time library source however I was rather closer to Ian's guidelines, just so as not to annoy people. I think it still has tabs though. -- Ashley Yakeley
