Of course.
The fact is: my indenting style is just too unruly for scripting. Oh,
other people may shudder at the look of my HTML source but I like it the
way it is, and I'm the only one making changes in my own pages.
For Vim scripts, ":set autoindent smartindent" is good enough for me.
Even 'cindent' I don't use, but then I don't program in C anyway, and in
CSS my coding style is, shall I say, "clear but unusual".
Best regards,
Tony.
