Thanks. I will make these changes. Is there a reasoning for the 3 spaces ? I misconfigured my XML Spy to use tabs instead of spaces. But I've never heard of 3 spaces before, usually its 4 (or 8 for unix paranoid). Is there a list of the xindice specific coding conventions? Beyond http://www.apache.org/dev/styleguide.html which claims:
"Each level of indentation of code is four spaces. Tab characters should never be used." Would anyone object if we moved from 3 to 4 spaces? I'm happy to reformat all the existing forrest documentation to meet that standard. dave -----Original Message----- From: Vladimir R.

Normally it's 4 spaces, but the Xindice code is formatted with 3 spaces. Even if I don't agree, I respect the rule. I wouldn't like to see 300k diff files just because of some formatting difference. Does anyone know a (free) code formatting tool for XML that we could use before committing xml files? -Vladimir -- Vladimir R. Bossicard Apache Xindice - http://xml.apache.org/xindice
