As a general rule, pure whitespace patches are not accepted. No point sending them over and over. Frédéric Delanoy

Also some people are using double spaces intentionally, like here: --- -$as_me: Finished. Do '${ac_make}' to compile Wine. +$as_me: Finished. Do '${ac_make}' to compile Wine. --- though I have no explanation why.

The D3D changes seem fine to me, if perhaps not terribly important. I'd probably replace the \t's with four spaces. On 19 October 2015 at 10:12, Nikolay Sivov <bunglehead(a)gmail.com> wrote:

It seems to be some US thing for people using typewriters. IMO it has no place on a computer where there are much better typesetting solutions.

I recall hearing this rule in school from some older teachers (use two spaces when starting a new sentence). However, at most some teachers would do it in things that they typed, but it was never a requirement for students, and it is not a common practice in my experience.. -- -Austin

I'm old enough to remember it. It goes back to the days of typewriters using monospaced fonts; the purpose was to improve readability by making the breaks between sentences clearer. It died with the advent of personal computers, but a surprising number of people still think it is the rule. -- Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio(a)earthlink.net>
