Hear, hear. Yes, 8-space indentation is a matter of pressing the Tab key, but it's a bit too big.. I've always stuck with two spaces. Note that if you want to quickly format your code with tab-character indentation (== 8 spaces), I like astyle -t <file>. Works like a charm. I've only tried it with C/C++ code so I don't know whether it works for other kinds of files. -- Joshua Kwan
