Reformat hf[] entries ?

Why, now all seems no more aligned for me, and your reformat also
left spaces between text and comma.

You're right; I was sloppy about leaving spaces between the text and the comma. :)


I do not agree with such reformat, as it seems less readable as the
one I’ve put in.


I made the change because, personally, I find the quite long lines quite
difficult to read when they when they exceed the width of my screen
(which I expect they will do on screens used by many).

I like to have some parts aligned to an ease of use for to have the
same length of displayed items.


I understand.

Are there some rules where this is described?



Not really. I do think readability is relevant; I'm not really a fan of the old 72 column limit but I do think there should be some limit.

The above notwithstanding, I can revert the hf[] reformatting if you desire.....
