My last PR accumulated tabs somehow, and > IIRC it used to leave spaces automatically when working with SGML. After you have edited a file, and changed spaces to tabs, you can select a region and use `M-x untabify' to convert tabs to spaces. > Sometimes my tab key leaves spaces, sometimes it uses a hard tab.

On all text-mode derivatives (actually in any Emacs mode) you can set `indent-tabs-mode' to `nil' to inhibit the use of tabs, and force Emacs to use only spaces. This variable is buffer-local, which means you can set it when a buffer is active, and the changes will only affect that buffer. If you want indent-tabs-mode to be nil when in sgml-mode, you can add code that sets it in either sgml-mode-hook or text-mode-hook (the latter will affect *all* text modes). An example sgml-mode-hook for your .emacs could be: (setq sgml-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq fill-column 70 indent-tabs-mode nil ;; <-- no tabs next-line-add-newlines nil standard-indent 2) (auto-fill-mode t))) -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
