Re: Ada micro Style for Programs in Introductory Textbooks

[eachus@mitre-bedford.arpa (Robert I. Eachus)]

     There are style guidelines which are customary, and style
guidelines which are graven in linguistic stone.  For example, in Ada
there are many different layouts used for if statements, but everyone
will flame you if you put "end" and "if;" on different lines.

     When it comes to Ada in textbooks, stick with reserved words in
lower case boldface, identifiers in all capitals, and a fixed width
font.  In programming there is room for much more flexibility, but
most Ada programmers cringe when faced with uppercase reserved words
or lower case attributes.  The rest is personal style.
