== Default stylesheet for the Wiki ==

Jean,

you've recently removed paper indentation settings from [[Rest styles]], arguing that no indentation is the default for this Wiki.  However, this snippet is part of the “official” documentation that doesn't set the indentation to zero by default...

I thus wonder whether it makes sense to synchronize the Wiki with the LilyPond documentation by not providing a default value for the indentation.  Another reason to stay with LilyPond's default is that a novice user who tries to compile a snippet might be surprised that it looks differently. -- [[User:Lemzwerg|Lemzwerg]] ([[User talk:Lemzwerg|talk]]) 16:51, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

:I'm surprised. [https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/contributor/lilypond-formatting This page of the contributor's guide] implies <code>indent = 0</code> is the default in doc snippets. Is it out of date? What are the exact settings used to compile snippets in the docs? It's been too long since I had any idea how the doc build works, I can't find this in the repo right now… [[User:Jean Abou Samra|Jean Abou Samra]] ([[User talk:Jean Abou Samra|talk]]) 17:13, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
::I took the style settings used on the wiki [https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/usage/other-programs right from the usage manual] in the section that says "you have to effectively mimick how lilypond-book runs lilypond"… [[User:Jean Abou Samra|Jean Abou Samra]] ([[User talk:Jean Abou Samra|talk]]) 17:15, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
:::D'oh.  You are correct.  My mistake, my memory failed me, and of course I didn't check before writing :-)
