That is another option. You can turn on Emacs local variables in the

Not bloody likely. I have been using BBEdit (since the very first
version)
specifically to escape the unspeakable hell of vi, Emacs, and their
ilk. My
brain is not compatible with keyboard-based editors.
Maybe you misunderstood my response. You asked:
Is there a way to embed a metadata item in these data files, which
would
override the tab setting in Preferences, so that when I am working in
one of these files, BBEdit will use tab = 15 instead of 4?
This allows you to embed metadata into the document that specifies
the tab width. It happens to use the same format of metadata as emacs
uses (since that is an entrenched "standard"), but otherwise it will
remain BBEdit :-)
