## Style

This project uses tabs for indentation and the code looks fine with
any tab width. If you are using Emacs, and have it configured to use
spaces for indentation, then you can add a ./.dir-locals.el to use
tabs for files in this project. See
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DirectoryVariables.
Remove .dir-locals.el and add doc/contributing.mdwn. Add link CONTRIBUTING -> doc/contributing.mdwn, so that it's easy to find (many files in doc/). Add .dir-locals.el to .gitignore, now that it's no longer versioned. The CONTRIBUTING file gives a reference to a page on the Emacs wiki that shows how to set up a .dir-locals.el that sets up tabs for indentation. I updated the wiki page to include the `(highlight-regexp "^ *")` part, which had been the hardest to discover. 2012-06-12 07:39:21 +00:00			`## Style`
