Re: indent? [was: Comment block style]

If you're doing a PEAR presentation somewhere, you can always pick an indentation argument with the audience if you forget what you were going to say. That's why it's there. ;-) Seriously: my reason for supporting the "spaces only" format is that it's the only thing that looks the same in any program. I don't know when this "four-space tab" movement got started, probably an invasion from the DOS/Windows world or something, but I've always used 8-space tabs before. "less" has 8-space tabs by default, as does my printer driver. Vim as most people prefer to configure it and it seems as good as all Windows editors have 4-space tabs by default, so how do we ensure that formatting is persistent? By not using tabs. - Stig [Markus Fischer <mfischer@guru.josefine.at>] > Very right .. intending is very I like to bitch about too. What > is wrong with using tabs?
