Hi -- well it depends on the conventions of the people you are working with.
When I was coding for a living, we would not only indent, but for huge
expressions, we would preserve the hierarchy of the operations in the
expression in the indentation.
However, for small to moderately sized expressions that ran over a line, we
would not insert a line break, but would leave it all on a line so that the
(now old fashioned) debugger would print the whole expression out when we
were debugging.

Subject: Code Beautification Question
Hello all, Just a blink with a question for those of you who appreciate
aesthetically pleasing code. If I have a line that wraps, say because
of long expressions in the code itself or because of trailing comments
at the end of the line, is it standard practice to indent that line to
match the indentation level of the line above it? Or because of the
various line lenghts in different editors, am I only really making
things worse by doing that? Would actually be nifty if this was a no-no,
since my editor just puts the next line at the far left and combing
through and making the indentation levels match is sort of a pain.
Thanks for the thoughts.
Jared
