Software Formatting Rule

A Software Formatting Rule is a code presentation software convention formatting rule that can support code formatting tasks to standardize source code presentation and code structure layout.

• AKA: Code Formatting Convention, Source Code Layout Rule, Programming Format Standard, Code Presentation Rule, Code Style Convention.
