Re: AW: [PEAR] I can't believe it...

Hi Markus, Your point is a good one, I have long been a been frustrated at the way breaking a line of code (always a function declaration/call! :) ) often results in non-aligned formatting. However I would venture that this slight aboration is greatly outweighed by the benefits (ease of use and flexibility) of using tabs instead of spaces to format code. It's not perfect, perfect would be standard worldwide use of editors which automatically format the code (like AMOSPro on the Amiga, anyone remember that? You couldn't write code which didn't conform as it was automatically formatted as you typed [but it a great way, not a bad way!]), it is however the best solution available to date that has an appropriate base of editor support. I agree the editor can be set to get rid of most of the difference, but that is building upon a crooked foundation IMO and I just don't do that. I am very stubborn that way and it has lost me money but I got me princ-e-pills ya know? ;) This shouldn't really be on the list though (and we don't really have much to argue about anyway :) ). All the best... Conor
