A code style is a set of rules and directions on how source code should be formatted and structured. With Tcl in particular a code style may concern
- Procedure names
- lowerCameCase, nocaseatall or lower-case-with-dashes?
- verb (e.g., set) or noun (e.g., ::http::data)?
- Variable names
- Indentation (typically tabs vs. 4 spaces)
- Class names
- lower (Snit) or CamelCase (common with TclOO)
- Curly brace and square bracket placement
- Namespace definition
- namespace eval ::ns { proc hi ... } or namespace eval ::ns {}; proc ns::hi ... }?
