Brace placement style. A lot of people tend to be very religious about this.
# The best way...
if (something)
{
do something;
do some more;
}
else
{
whatever;
whatever;
}
# The acceptable style:
if (something)
{
do something;
do some more;
}
else
{
whatever;
whatever;
}
# The classic K&R style (ugh):
if (something) {
do something;
do some more;
} else {
whatever;
whatever;
}
# The conversational style...
if (something) {do something; do some more} else {whatever; whatever}
I'm not sure if there's any major variants that I've missed.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
