Topic: 2 newlines before/after sections?
Kenny Lau (Jun 28 2025 at 15:34):
I personally think the code is easier to read if I insert 2 newlines before/after sections like this:
section Foo
/-- Lorem ipsum. -/
def Foo : sorry := sorry
theorem foo_eq_3 : Foo = 3 := sorry
end Foo
section Bar
/-- Dolor sit amet. -/
def Bar : sorry := sorry
theorem bar_eq_37 : Bar = 37 := sorry
end Bar
Is this acceptable in mathlib?

I don’t think there is a strict policy, so yes.

Note that VS Code now keeps track of what section you're in (look at the top of the file) so this sort of thing is far less of an issue than it was in Lean 3
