Precisely.
If someone really likes
if (a &&

	b)
or
if (

	a

	&&

	b

)
then let be it (in his/her code), but please don't fight
if (a &&

    b)
Just make sure only tabs are used for indent, i.e., the last is:

\t*if (a &&

\t*\s\s\s\sb)
another example:
\t*if (condition1 && (a +

\t*                   b))

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <<< spaces, not tabs
I think the current CodingStyle is clear enough but improvements there

aren't prohibited.
