I don't know if there is any official ruleset for use with auto-formatting 
code. FWIW, there is one program that I've used to format (mostly C) code 
that wasn't mentioned. The program is called indent.

Out of the box indent may not format the code the way you want it to appear. 
It has a lot of options, that you can put in to a file, which allow you to 
customize how it will reformat code.
