Ah, yes,  you are right. We usually have either:

        { /* element 1 */ },
        { / *element 2 */ },
        ...

or:

        {
                /* element 1 */
        },
        {
                /* element 2 */
        },

but I do not think that it is codified in the CodingStyle.


Thanks.
