=09#  Tabs should not have been allowed for indentation. Or at the very l=

It's worth pointing out the second half of that statement, but it really =

a big deal.  A quick Google for 'python tab indent' gave me what I needed=

vi settings to do spaces instead of tabs when I press the 'tab' key.  We'=

use spaces.  Done and done.  :-)

Wow.  I'm very impressed with this module.  How do you feel this impacts=20
PyTeX?  Can we tie in with it, does it make this project obsolete (doubt =
it),=20
or is it just another tool for a different text-related task...?

For what I want to see in PyTeX, the ability to create a document by maki=
ng=20
function calls, I don't think this is a competing project.  The main focu=
s of=20
it seems to be a simplified way for a human to generate a docuement. I'm=20
looking for an easier way to make handsome reports in daemons & lengthy=20
scripts.  Granted, I've only spent 30 minutes looking into the docutils s=
tuff=20
and doing the 'hello world' type stuff...

What's your take?
