if ( x == y ) { DoSomething(); } else if ( x == y ) { DoSomethingElse(); } else { }

( 2 spaces per indent, 1 space padding )

if ( x == y ) DoSomething(); else DoSomethingElse();

or

if ( x == y ) DoSomething(); else if ( x == y ) DoSomethingElse(); else if ( x == y ) DoSomethingElse(); else if ( x == y ) DoSomethingElse(); else if ( x == y ) DoSomethingElse(); else DoSomethingElse();

Is OK, as long as there is at least one empty line above and below.

For some reason the PRE tags are doing that.</p> The empty lines really aren’t there. For some reason the PRE tags are doing that.
