Subject: [9fans] Acme tabs to spaces
Date: Tue,  6 Dec 2005 10:43:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <EB193199-F5CE-4E61-B68C-EFD5F05EF172@telus.net> (raw)

So my new employer has a coding convention that tabs don't appear in  
source, and that indent levels are 4 spaces.  Ick.  But in the  
interest of global harmony, I'm willing to adapt.  I know I can  
trivially convert the tabs to spaces at any given time, and set  
$tabstops to 4 to get the right width, but I have to do the  
conversion with each file I save.  Ick.
Is there some automatic tab conversion code somewhere in Acme?  Where  
would be the sane place to put such a thing?   (yes, I already know  
there is no sane place for such a thing...)

Paul
