Gotcha. So if it interferes with org-src-preserve-indentation, that's good to know. I'm assuming that was the change you recently pushed per the last note. > >> I am a bit frustrated by trying to be as clear as I could about the >> situation with reproducible examples, and then finding out the behavior was >> apparently obvious, but due to a variable I didn't know existed... > > The behaviour is not obvious. Sorry, what I meant is that at no point in our dialog did you seem surprised by my outcomes. First, you simply said you couldn't reproduce. Then you said the issue was because I was /using/ tabs (vs. spaces). When I disagreed, you clarified that saying I was /using/ tabs had really meant I had indent-tabs-mode set to non-nil. From my non-mastery of Org/emacs perspective, it appeared you knew what was going on, but revealed it in layers to me. >> I'll try a fresh pull tomorrow as well as looking at indent-tabs-mode. > > This should hopefully work.

Tried both methods, both of which work exactly as I'd have hoped! - Putting =(setq org-src-preserve-indentation t)= in .emacs - No setting for the above variable, but using =-i= in the src block Thanks so much! This has perplexed me for a really long time, but I've never looked into it. I'm giving my first more "major" talk at a local event (talking about R + geo-spatial data as well as Shiny interactive web-apps), and wanted my code to look nice and pretty. Many thanks for enabling that!! I'll be on the lookout for somewhere on Worg where I can add the new documentation if you haven't done so already.
