A good IDE will allow you to customize your formatting
preferences.

Eclipse for C/C++ comes with 4 standards:
* K&R
* BSD/Allman
* GNU
* Whitesmiths

But if that is not good enough, then you can just
create your own.

I believe there are around 100-150 options you can set.

Seems likely that you can find something that is close
to your preference.

Sorry - I don't know of anything similar for Basic.
