The reality of programming practice trumps original intent of tab characters. The tab character and space character are pliable in that if their use changes their semantics change. > ... and the solution is to advance > the sciences such that your source code in some way > embed such information. If/when time comes where such info is embeded perhaps then tabs will be OK. --------------------------------------------------------------- I use spaces because of the many sources I've opened I have many times sighed on opening tabed ones and never done so opening spaced ones. I don't get mad, but sighing is a clear indicator of negativity. Anyway, the more code I write and read the less indentation matters to me. My brain can now parse akward source correctly far bettter than it did a few years ago.
