Back when we used typewriters we were told to put two spaces between the period at the end of one sentence and the first character of the next. This was in order to add visual separation for readability. With the advent of desktop computers most people continued to put two spaces even though this actually removed the software's ability to fully and accurately manage the distance between that period and the following character.
Most of us use modern IDEs these days. Regardless of historical precedent concerning spaces the use of tabs provides greater flexibility within our tools. It's faster to navigate and allows every user to display their preferred amount of indentation. Similarly, 80 column line length is just goofy given screen real-estate these days. I prefer 120. It's time to update the "standards." That said, I'll go with the group consensus. :-) Jeff On 2/1/07, Geir Magnusson Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
