[orbitcpp-list] problem with emacs and tab formatting!

[Phil D. <ph...@us...>]

Hi All,

I've just realised a problem with tab formatting that I hadn't
considered:

For functions with many arguments, I tend to do:

	thisIsALongMethodName(FirstArg arg1,
	                      SecondArg arg2,
	                      ThirdArg arg3)

However, when you set emacs to do tab formatting, it uses tabs in the
second and third arg lines, which of course gets a bit out when you
change the tab stop size. Has anybody managed to get emacs to 'do the
right thing'? (i.e. tab to alignment with the start of the method, and
then space the rest)

Cheers,

Phil.
