+1 Quite a few text editors do this by default. It's enormously convenient to the programmer; it's terribly inconvenient to go through and right-strip these otherwise empty lines. In addition, I question whether its contribution to "file bloat" is either as serious as asserted elsewhere, or even all that undesirable. After all, comments and empty lines contribute to file bloat, but they also contribute to readability. Trailing white space on a non-empty line is another story. regards john perry -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
