Multi line conditionals assignment indentation

[fuadsaud]

So, checking the guide, I didn't find mentions to conditional assignment indentation. Should it be like this:

result = if a.empty?
  # couple of statements
else
   # other statements
end

or this:

result = if a.empty?
               # couple of statements
             else
               # other statements
             end

I for instance prefer the first one, since it doesn't require realigning the whole thing when the variable name changes, it is closer to the block syntax and it doesn't create a weird whitespace hole on the left side. But this seems to go against the case example provided on the guide:

kind = case year
       when 1850..1889 then 'Blues'
       when 1890..1909 then 'Ragtime'
       when 1910..1929 then 'New Orleans Jazz'
       when 1930..1939 then 'Swing'
       when 1940..1950 then 'Bebop'
       else 'Jazz'
       end

I know case is an edge case (oh), but this may get people confused.

What do you think?

Actually I think it should be like this:

result = if a.empty?
             else
             end

Hmm, the else and end should be aligned with the if, but for some reason it's not displayed properly.

Maybe this should be added as a rule if we can get the indentation correct :-)
