Actually I think it is clear from the language rules, but...

When reading source code it is often important to be able to scan through 
code quickly and comprehend the meaning.  Coding conventions can make it 
quicker to recognize things in without reading the text.

For example indenting code uniformly makes it easier to follow.  While the 
format of the code doesn't change its meaning, it can make it considerably 
easier to read.

Regards,
Steve
