Might add to this, that fixed-column comment indenting is not at all standard practice for octave. A quick survey of the .m files in octave3.2-common shows none using fixed-column indenting, and many which have comments indented to the context of the current block, e.g. /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/optimization/optimset.m /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/general/quadgk.m /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/polynomial/polyfit.m /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/general/interp1.m etc. etc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
