I don't indent with 8 spaces! I indent with tab's now! There's just the
problem with parameters which break to a new line (when indenting with
tabulators), this obviously not only in the function header but also
in the code, say after the normal indent level f.ex.
for() {
for() {
if (a very long parameterlist && function(with more then one,
parameter)
^from here we need spaces
{
}
}
}
I know this is annoying, but IMO this is the cleanest solution and we then
can view and print sourcecode with whatever tab-width we give. I understand
we cannot do this now for all files, but we could keep it as a general rule
(a pitty emacs indent-mode cannot handle stuff like this automatically)

But I was there and I saw what you did,
I saw it with my own two eyes.

Hello, This is indeed a much requested feature, and no perfect solution for this problem exists. What you can do is: 1/ Use Lyxexport (http://rerumnatura.zool.su.se/stefano/software/), a script that uses a real running LyX in batch mode to do the export. 2/ There is another utility (perl script) which does a direct translation of LyX to latex, but I forgot its name :( JMarc
