[erlang-questions] Controversial subject of the day: tabs and spaces for indentation

[Bengt Kleberg]

Greetings,

If you are driven insane when I write that my opinions are my opinions, and you are sufficiently angered to write me about it when I do not make such a claim, I do not see how I can make you happy.
I will go back to how I used to do it before.

Sorry to say I do not understand how your statement "indention in Erlang is not fixed" rules out using tabs for indention. Can tabs only be used when indention is fixed? Fixed to what?

We can’t use tabs for indentation in Erlang because indentation in Erlang is not fixed.

I’m now out of this debate because this constant « These are my opinions, not facts. » is driving me insane.
