Indentation == leading whitespace, except for "here" documents and multiline strings in Perl and other languages that support them. For languages like C or Java you don't need a lexer to recognize what is indentation. >The automaitc indendation by scite can be configured as tabs, as I >remenber. Ahh, now I understand.

We're just discussing the use of tabs vs spaces.
