Code Style in layout file

[Fedik]

I not invent anything new, just want to sum up

• $displayData should be array, so we can use extract()
• Each layout file should have Comment Block with description, in similar way as methods has.
• Each Required variable need to be marked as Required in description

Example:

/**
 *  This layout render emptiness
 *  
 * @var   Type     $variable    Description 
 * @var   JForm    $form        Form for render 
 * @var   string   $something   Something else
 */
extract($displayData);

is there anything that I missed? Please add it :wink:

I think we can skip the required part. The doc block tells those overriding it which variables are present so I don't think we need to explicitly set anything as required.
