Can the NetBeans code formatter be made to format javadoc comments?
The NetBeans 6.1 editor doesn't seem to like to wrap comments, and the code formatter seems to ignore them. For JavaDoc comments, this behaviour seems inappropriate, as you can end up spending a lot of wasted time manually reflowing paragraphs. I was wondering if there's some magic setting to get the builtin code formatter, or the edit...
Tabs and spaces conversion
I would like to automatically convert between tabs and spaces for indentation when I commit/update code to/from our repository.

Code formatting: is lining up similar lines ok?
I recently discovered that our company has a set of coding guidelines (hidden away in a document management system where no one can find it). It generally seems pretty sensible, and keeps away from the usual religious wars about where to put '{'s and whether to use hard tabs. However, it does suggest that "lines SHOULD NOT contain embedd...
How would you implement auto-capitalization in JavaScript/HTML.
I need to implement auto-capitalization inside of a Telerik RadEditor control on an ASPX page as a user types. This can be an IE specific solution (IE6+).

How verbose should validation output be?

Keeping my PHP pretty
I am creating a site in which different pages can look very different depending upon certain conditions (ie logged in or not, form filled out or not, etc). This makes it necessary to output diferent blocks of html at different times. Doing that, however, makes my php code look horrific... it really messes with the formatting and "shape...

What's the Name of the Python Module that Formats arbitrary Text to nicely looking HTML?
A while ago I came across a Python library that formats regular text to HTML similar to Markdown, reStructuredText and Textile, just that it had no syntax at all. It detected indentatations, quotes, links and newlines/paragraphs only. Unfortunately I lost the name of the library and was unable to Google it. Anyone any ideas? Edit: re...

Is Programming Style important? How Important?
Last year I was troubleshooting a team member's code and it was lacking indents and comments. I was talking to him about it telling him it was not a good idea but he got offended.

.NET currency formatter: can I specify the use of banker's rounding?
Does anyone know how I can get a format string to use bankers rounding? I have been using "{0:c}" but that doesn't round the same way that bankers rounding does.
