I don't want to "advertise" this new style in the documentation but am willing to be overruled by the majority.

What is your goal with that style?

What is your goal with that style?

It was actually your idea. 😉

But you added it to the help text?

(I'm fine with this being undocumented)

[owenca]

I was wondering myself. Will undo it before merging.

I know, but I thought the thought was dropped. :)

So the intent is to use it on our .clang-format files?

[owenca]

Yep. Each file will contain only BasedOnStyle: clang-format.

Where is the documentation for the value? CLion reports clang-format option as an error by the reason. No doc, no schema rule.

There is none, on purpose.

Personally, I'm not a fan of CLion enough to care! especially following JetBrains slating of clang-format: (thanks for doing that at a massive public C++ forum without contacting us), their content even questionable as to its accuracy.

Maybe they can try contributing rather than complaining.
