[...] : This is just another shining example of why emacs is the worlds : greatest editor/ide: it replaces tabs with spaces. With one key : stroke I get a tab consisting of any number of spaces I choose : in its initialization file. And the width changes automatically : depending on the type of file I'm editing. Er - replacing tabs with spaces is done by practically every programmer's editor I have ever seen. It tends to produce the problem with outdenting I mentioned. That problem is not very hard to avoid, by adopting a different strategy. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ tim@tt1.org
