There is, afaik, an indent(1) option to substitute spaces for tabs and there are various other options that, when combined, get the level of indenting "right". Incidentally, part of the reason I like 2-space indents and shun gratuitous vertical whitespace and why I like long lines up to a certain limit is that, with those constraints you can put a heck of a lot of code on one screen and still have it look lovely and readable. You sacrifice a little. for long lines, in having to use landscape printing or (for old timers) a serious line-printer but... seems worth it to me. -t Matthew Hannigan wrote: On Wed, Jun 28, 2006 at 03:44:24PM -0700, Thomas Lord wrote:I hope you will use GNU style (2-space) indenting. For a while there was a volunteer who helped (quite nicely, IMO), by regularly submitting patches that replaced tab characters with spaces.Is there a GNU indent(1) invocation that will do the necessary or at least report whether a formatting transgression has occurred? The linux kernel has 'lindent' for this purpose. Matt |
