OK, I think I understand what you mean. Use one tab for indentation, then the programmer can choose to have their editor display tabs as equivalent to whatever number of spaces they prefer. I agree this is good and will switch to using this. I think it ought to be straightforward with emacs once I figure it out. > It only veryfies that $foo ends up to be a number (you compare this with > numbers later, right?).

Don't worry, that option has gone away, replaced by the choice of %M or %m in ItemFormat. > > I even added emacs mode settings for your indentation style :-) > > I don't think these are the right settings, they insert 4 spaces. > In fact, I think the only way to configure emacs to do anything useful > is to disable auto-indentation and insert real tabs on tab press. I'm confused as to what is happening. I screwed up the mode settings, but they should have made emacs display the tabs as equivalent to 8 spaces not 4. The file I put up definitely has single tabs for indentation. Could it have got corrupted somewhere? Anyway, I've got some more changes to add after the weekend. I'll send those as a patch against CVS and it will hopefully be right this time. Thanks for the help.
