I don't call that "alignment", I call that "evil".<br>
As far as I am concerned, one of the core rules of<br>
good indentation is<br>
- the presence or absence of line breaks will<br>
depend on the size of names and constants<br>
- but the AMOUNT of indentation never will.<br>
<br>
Why? Because indentation is supposed to reveal<br>
STRUCTURE, not spelling.<br>

I agree. Unfortunately many people align there.<div><br>
