For mypersonal projects, I used to indent with spaces (I usually used 3 spaces), butI've started using tabs. It seems easier to be consistent when using tabs, andalso with tabs, editors often give you the option on how much space it will useto represent a tab. For my Synchronet scripts/mods, I used to use Notepad2 (inWindows) to edit them, and eventually switched to Notepad++. Notepad++ made itmore obvious that indentation was inconsistent in many places - Some code had amixture of tabs and spaces, which was hard to tell with Notepad2 because theylooked similar and the indentation looked good with Notepad2.Nightfox--- Synchronet Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com

InNotepad++, I forget where it is. WinMerge has that option as well.-jagCode it... Script it... Automate it!--- Synchronet Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com
