hi Vincent,
by having:
(ess-set-style 'C++ 'quiet)
in a mode hook, this will enforce users to the C++ indentation style,
despite the value of `ess-default-style'.
Not all your users may like that, so what I'd recommend instead is that
you have (or try):
(setq ess-default-style 'C++)
(add-hook 'ess-mode-hook
'(lambda()
(add-hook 'write-file-functions
(lambda ()
(ess-nuke-trailing-whitespace)))))
so that an end user can then put some other default in their .emacs
like:
(setq ess-default-style 'BSD)
and get 'the right thing'.
This should work even without the changes I added today.
