[Edbrowse-dev] indenting

[Karl Dahlke <eklhad@comcast.net>]

I almost don't care, so if other people do that will win the day.
Would you prefer a different style of indenting?
I came up with this one over ten years ago, but now I
really don't like it, because of the mix of spaces and tabs.
Guess I was trying to prevent really long lines, so only indent by 4.
Well the way to prevent long lines is by programming better.
Linux kernel indents by tabs, by blocks of 8 spaces,
and all the braces and other styles I like too.
Would we be better off using their indent script,
or maybe some other script?
I just like being able to list a line and count tabs
and know the indent, like when I work in the kernel,
but edbrowse source doesn't work like that.
If you have kernel source look at scripts/Lindent.
Indenting by tabs is pretty much the standard.

Also I wonder if we should not run eb.h through such a script.
It's just externs and defines.
And now with the extern C { } around it,
everything is indented for no reason.
It's just a little awkward / confusing.
