 6.3 Styles
 ==========
 
 By “style” we mean the layout of the code—things like how many columns
 to indent a block of code, whether an opening brace gets indented to the
 level of the code it encloses, or of the construct that introduces it,
 or “hangs” at the end of a line.
 
    Most people only need to edit code formatted in just a few
 well-defined and consistent styles.  For example, their organization
 might impose a “blessed” style that all its programmers must conform to.
 Similarly, people who work on GNU software will have to use the GNU
 coding style.  Some shops are more lenient, allowing a variety of coding
 styles, and as programmers come and go, there could be a number of
 styles in use.  For this reason, CC Mode makes it convenient for you to
 set up logical groupings of customizations called “styles”, associate a
 single name for any particular style, and pretty easily start editing
 new or existing code using these styles.
 
    As an alternative to writing a style definition yourself, you can
 have CC Mode “guess” (at least part of) your style by looking at an
 already formatted piece of your code, Guessing the Style.
