Doom 3 was touted[1] as having some "exceptional beauty." Naming, spacing of properties, consistency, and how multiple parameterized calls were formatted are quite nice. You can see an example on github[2], but for some reason the spacing is a bit off in the web view. I'd recommend cloning a local copy and taking a look.

It looks like Github doesn't explicitly set tab-size so it defaults to 8. 4 seems to work better.

You can set the github tab size via query parameter [1]. The Doom 3 code formats quite nicely then [2].
