Would it be worth adding something to the guidelines for writing proofs about formatting? Some of the proofs being added are difficult to follow because no heed is taken to line breaks. So the boundary between when one step ends and the next begins is not obvious. When you're trying to get an assignment in and you only have one piece of paper left then there's perhaps a necessity to cram everything up in as small a space as possible but we're not worried about wasting paper here. Could a few lines be added to the effect that every step should be started on a new line?

BTW I don't believe the <br> command is needed, I just put 2 enters in and in that way the source code is also neatly spaced and as easy to follow as the proof itself. Bear with me, I'm just a silly old fusspot who's spent the best part of 3 decades maintaining poorly-written and badly-formatted software and I have an Attitude about such things. --prime mover (talk) 06:40, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Yep, we have a page, proof basics. I was hoping to use it as a guideline for how to write mathematical proofs, oriented around ProofWiki. We could also possibly put something in that section on the main help page. The whole section really needs to be done from scratch though. --Joe 22:39, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
