Personally I like inverted-indent blocks. Seems a nice logical way to
me of showing clearly that the line follows the previous line. In
fact I seem to recall that many configuration file formats use the
same principle to indicate a continuation.
Of course, this is all about personal choice - what looks good, and
seems very logical to me, will be laughed at by others. So please
can we stop being big-headed, biggotted and arrogant... there is
no right and wrong. (Sorry, John that't not directed at you!)
