Are There Any Lisp Style Guides?


I mean, which formatting is possible and which is not for letting the code of several people to look like one person's.

What points of Lisp formatting are usually considered (when to indent, when to use tabulation, what unusual whitespaces to add if using all kinds of syntax)?

Any pretty-printer plugins for texteditor which have clearly described its rules of pretty-printing?

Google's Common Lisp style guide says "Ideally, use the default indentation settings provided by slime-indentation".
