I write all my XHTML/PHP by hand using SciTE, with 4 spaces instead of tabs, to line up code according to the nesting level (eg. BODY is indented wrt. HTML definition) - using tabs here gets very messy when you try and view the source due to the sheer size of them (for example, "view source" in many modern browsers will display tabs as 8 spaces by default). The alternative in these situations to having code running off the end of the page is to hard-wrap at 80 chars (which with tabs taking up 8 spaces can make things very narrow). Hence I use 4 literal spaces, because then I know what I'm getting, across platforms. -- Alphax | /"\ Encrypted Email Preferred | \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign OpenPGP key ID: 0xF874C613 | X Against HTML email & vCards http://tinyurl.com/cc9up | / \ _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
