That is the whole point of using tabs for indent, you can chose the indent amount: I tend to use 20ex. Remember a tab is not a number of spaces, it is semantic markup. Using spaces is a low-level hack founded on a lack of separation of concerns and abstraction. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
