No, just that it was invented only recently (in Emacs terms). > Otherwise, I suggest to install one like this which is mostly taken > from Emacs[1]: Please do so. > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > ;;; Directory Local Variables > ;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables") > > ((nil .

Indeed, but I guess we should go with Emacs' conventions. The question then is, of course, if we should pro-actively convert our files. One strategy would be to convert one file after the other when one touches it anyway, probably in a seperate commit. At least we should try not to have a file half tab-indented and the other part space-indented. Bye, Tassilo
