How many people use JED? I realize there are vim lines in a large portion of the files, but are these perfect to the format in use? Also, this leaves out anyone who doesn't use VIM or JED and this number is probably increasing quicker then those who use them I would imagine. If noone wants to discuss it because they don't want to modify their editor then I guess there's no use discussing it. All I was saying was the format could be a little simpler so one doesn't have to count spaces and figure out if they should add a tab or 7 spaces. If I don't have to worry about tabs my life is instantly easier as I only have to put in the proper amount of spaces. Any editor should be able to insert spaces in place of tabs, doing tabs and spaces together efficiently is more likely going to limit the editors that one use without having to spend excess time formatting. > > dh > > > >> Thanks > >> Noorul > >> > |
