RE: [PEAR-DEV] tabs and spaces (was: VIM config in PEAR files?)

The problem is simple: there are editors that dont have a feature to set the tab spacing (I don’t touch an editor that does not have this feature). I never really had problems with diff. Anyways the discussion is moot. Its not going to change. I know because I have tried :-) Best regards, Lukas Smith smith@dybnet.de _______________________________ DybNet Internet Solutions GbR Reuchlinstr. 10-11 Gebäude 4 1.OG Raum 6 (4.1.6) 10553 Berlin Germany Tel. : +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax : +49 30 83 22 50 07 www.dybnet.de info@dybnet.de _______________________________ > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Mertens [mailto:dave@zyprexia.com] > Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 11:01 AM > To: Stig S.
