Obviously vim in converting the 8 spaces into one tab. When displayed this turns into "indentation to the first tabstop (=8)" which means only and indentation of 7 is visible (deducting the plus sign). I don't know how to teach vim not to do the conversion and I don't know if that might even be the right formatting, but I hope this helps. > When the diff is applied to the original source, it comes > out fine, so maybe it's ok? > > Any advice from expert vimmers would be greatly appreciated. > > Thank you. > Chess -- /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHCabtXyyEoT62BG0RAtVtAJ4zwwYPOA0wmzsQ7jMy+Aipv0OpeACfX98t rdIEc5prqWiefL/81tFBtS0= =bxLE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
