Just tried it with the jar file¹ he supplies and it seems to work Start no tabs: if foo# comment that is aligned do some stuff# across multiple indent levels Add tabs as leading indents with second line indented 1 tab more (showing tabs as |) |if foo# comment that is aligned ||do some stuff# across multiple indent levels Indent the first comment with 2 tabs At this point the first comment is/shows lefter than the second Indent the second with 1 tab -- the two #es now line up The invariant of course is clear -- if the total no of tabs in the line prior to the char are equal then all such lines line up ¹ yeah thats not very secure! And does not work with open java, works with Sun/Oracle java -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
