12.4.3 Formatting Code

When writing Scheme code, we follow common wisdom among Scheme programmers. In general, we follow the Riastradh’s Lisp Style Rules. This document happens to describe the conventions mostly used in Guile’s code too. It is very thoughtful and well written, so please do read it.

In addition, Dezyne uses the following formatting for if

(if test? trivial-case
    the-more-elaborate-case)

If you do not use Emacs, please make sure to let your editor knows the proper indentation rules, or use the build-aux/indent.scm script to fix the indentation.
