Although this makes things obvious from the documentation perspective, the truth is a little murkier. In some environments one might define `TIDY_EXPORT` and `TIDY_CALL` differently in order to control compiler behavior, especially in environments that have special requirements for dynamic libraries. In general, though, you shouldn't have to worry about this.
Note that MSVC has issues with macros inserted before pointer operators, and so the preferred use of pointer operators when documenting with macros is this:
~~~
const tidyLocaleMapItem* TIDY_CALL getNextWindowsLanguage( TidyIterator* iter )
~~~
…instead of this:
~~~
const tidyLocaleMapItem TIDY_CALL *getNextWindowsLanguage( TidyIterator* iter )
~~~

- No C++ single line comments using `//`.
- The openning `{` is indented on the next newline.
- While the maximum code line length varies, generally long `if`, `while`, ... statements are wrapped to newlines.
- For compatibility with MSVC, pointer operators in declarations must precede any macro documentation, e.g, `const tidyLocaleMapItem* TIDY_CALL getNextWindowsLanguage( TidyIterator* iter )` instead of `const tidyLocaleMapItem TIDY_CALL *getNextWindowsLanguage( TidyIterator* iter )`.
Look forward to this document being filled out in detail...
