I want to submit a small patch, but I use spaces, not tabs for indentation (which is not a problem with vim). So, I'll convert the spaces to tabs as per the Webware styleguide. However, this is as clear as mud to me:
""" Tabs are not used past initial indentation. To avoid alignment problems between people who have tabs set to different widths. A common use of tabs is to align the values of a dictionary or the right hand sides of several consecutive assignment statements. There is no problem when using tabs for indentation, but when they are used past non-tab characters, the alignment will be skewed when the tab width is changed (e.g., when a different developer with a different tab width views the code). """ What the first line says to me (but I know it is wrong) is that we should use tabs for the first indent, and then spaces thereafter. Could someone clarify what we're supposed to be using for patches? If you have vim settings that yield the approved indentation style, then so much the better... ...Edmund. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
