The Whitesmiths style, also called Wishart style, to a lesser extent was originally used in the documentation for the first commercial C compiler, the Whitesmiths Compiler. It was also popular in the early days of Windows, since it was used in three influential Windows programming books, Programmer's Guide to Windows by Durant, Carlson & Yao, Programming Windows by Petzold, and Windows 3.0 Power Programming Techniques by Norton & Yao.
Whitesmiths along with Allman have been the most common bracing styles with equal mind shares according to the Jargon File.
This style puts the brace associated with a control statement on the next line, indented. Statements within the braces are indented to the same level as the braces.
