If I were doing it that way, I wouldn&#x27;t give the outer blocks&#x27; curly braces their own lines. For example in C#, where pretty much every file has a single &quot;namespace&quot; block containing a single &quot;class&quot; block, I write it as:<p><pre><code>    namespace SomeNamespace {
    class SomeClass
    {
        &#x2F;&#x2F;...
    }}
</code></pre>
Which avoids having shifted the whole file an extra indent level to the right. But I haven&#x27;t seen anyone else doing this.
