(8 spaces seems too much.) 2 space indents are fine IMO, but they are spaces. A tab character should be viewed as 8 spaces wide, but that doesn't = force you to have 8 space wide indents. If you change tab width then you need to teach each editor and viewer = that could possibly read your file what that width is, which is = basically an impossible task. Yes using just spaces, or coalescing 8 spaces into a tab uses more disk = space than just tabs, but that amounts to sweet FA these days. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
