But you should be using Emacs customization these days: I have in my .emacs
'(c-basic-offset 4)
'(c-default-style "bsd")
in custom-set-variables, and that is what the 'R Internals' manual says
for Emacs >= 21. (You can set that from the 'Customize Emacs' menu
item, Programming, Languages, C group.)

Those are recommendations for Emacs < 21.
IMHO, this is not clear from the text, see below.
;;; C
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
(lambda () (c-set-style "bsd")))
;;; ESS
(add-hook 'ess-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(ess-set-style 'C++ 'quiet)
(add-hook 'local-write-file-hooks
(lambda ()
(ess-nuke-trailing-whitespace)))))
(setq ess-nuke-trailing-whitespace-p 'ask)
;;; Perl
(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook
(lambda () (setq perl-indent-level 4)))
into my .emacs file. IIRC, back in 2005 it gave me a basic indentation
of 4 in C (good), but only 2 in R (not so good, but I fixed it with
the aid of this excellent list). But now it gives me a basic
indentation of eight (8!) in C code. This is not what I want. I think
I saw somewhere that the bsd standard actually has changed from four
to eight recently (but I cannot find it now).
Two points given that the standard really has changed: (i) The text in
"R coding standards" should be changed accordingly.
It has been (long ago):
Alternatively, (for @acronym{GNU} Emacs 21 or later),
use customization to set the @code{c-default-style} to @code{"bsd"}
and @code{c-basic-offset} to @code{4}.)
To me, the word "Alternatively" suggests that I can do it either way. My
suggestion was to change this sentence, maybe by simply deleting the
first word.
(ii) How do I get back to a basic indentation of 4 in C and R code?
Follow the above.
Thanks for the help, as usual much appreciated!
