It resembles what I do for CSS; here is an "actual" example (from my Firefox
userChrome.css):
.tabbrowser-tabs *|tab
{ height: 18px !important
; min-width: 16px !important
; margin: 0px !important
; border-width: 1px !important
; border-color: black !important
; border-style: solid !important
; -moz-border-radius: 2px 2px 0px 0px !important
; border-collapse: collapse !important
; padding: 0px !important
; text-align: left !important
}
but I'm doing it with just
:filetype indent off
:set autoindent smartindent nocindent
(I don't trust autoindent scripts anyway). If these settings aren't powerful
enough for you, maybe you should write an indent-function for 'indentexpr'
(q.v.) ?
Best regards,
Tony.
