check this link for hearty examples of 'tabs versus spaces' discussion, enjoy ;) http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=576936 for me, the above discussion eventually has a obvious conclusion, which is... tabs have the possibility to be displayed in a whole bunch of different ways depending on what os/shell/editor/termtype/xterm/whatever combination you are using and spaces dont,.. i think spaces continue to be the best 'lowest-common-denominator' choice for a big open-source project like koha, > > we spoke of that a loonnnggg time ago. > I don't remember the details, but i remember that I've changed my > way of > indenting from tab to spaces. > And since then all commits are done with spaces, I think the tab ones > are oldies that have never be fixed. > >>> the important thing is a consistent indent length of 4, i think. >> >> Hooray for that! > > yep. > >> And what about the templates?
