Hi, > Er, yes, it does use tabs. Go to line 67 of fdp-primer/book.sgml. Not > that's a tab, not 8 spaces. I stand corrected. Note to self: Next time, check the complete document, not just the section with the indentation rules... > In short, ts=8 sw=2 sts=2: tabstop at 8 spaces, but insert soft-tabstops > of 2 spaces when you press tab, and shift width two at a time (with << > and >>).

Still, the vim over here refused to convert spaces into tabs, even when reformatting whole para > I think this is a documentation problem. *grin* That's why this discussion is on -doc and not -bugs ;-> /s/Udo -- Rome wasn't built by doing homework and taking tests.
