This sounds a bit like the old joke Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this Doctor: Well, don't do that I don't want to give you too much grief, as for your sake it would be nice to have your editor meet you where you are. That said, I find it much easier to create consistent documents from the start. > Is there a way to get Vim's indentation better and more > consistent?

On my Debian system, it's just a apt-get install tidy{,-doc} to install it, along with its documentation. It should be as simple as using :%!tidy If you don't like the default behavior, there are lots of knobs & dials you can twiddle to get closer to what you want. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
