Besides, there are also tabs in other (untouched by me) > places, like between a node name and its description. There were one tab in the gnus.texi file before you modified it. Though I've never noticed it, I see it breaks the indentation of the Lisp form in the info node `6.1.3 Example Methods' as follows: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- See also `nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches'. Here's an example for an indirect connection: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "indirect" (nntp-address "news.server.example") (nntp-via-user-name "intermediate_user_name") (nntp-via-address "intermediate.host.example") (nntp-via-rlogin-command "ssh") (nntp-end-of-line "\n") (nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches ("-C" "-t" "-e" "none")) (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- But now such ugliness is here and there. For example: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq gnus-summary-show-article-charset-alist '((1 . cn-gb-2312) (2 . big5))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I use: $ makeinfo --version makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.8 > So what's the general recommendation for texi files ? Don't use tabs. Regards,
