Dear fellows! GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.10) of 2019-08-29 Org mode version 9.2.6 (release_9.2.6-544-gd215c3 @ /home/w/borg/emacs/org/lisp/)
The variable org-edit-src-content-indentation has a default value of 2. Buffer-local values for that variable currently are not respected when using org-edit-src-code. Buffer-local values for this variable are set in e.g. worg/.dir-locals.el. The bug can be fixed by changing org-edit-src-content-indentation into (with-current-buffer (marker-buffer org-src--beg-marker) org-edit-src-content-indentation) in the definition of org-src--contents-for-write-back. However, the general patterns in the org-src.el suggest, that something similar to (defvar-local org-src--preserve-indentation nil) (put 'org-src--preserve-indentation 'permanent-local t) should be introduced, set up, and used. But except following the pattern, I see no advantage in the latter approach, even two slight disadvantages. The first beeing that it uses more lines of code, and the second being so minor and opinionated that I don't mention it. Which route shall I take when preparing a patch? Best wishes Sebastian
