Subject: Force spaces instead of tabs
Date: 10 Oct 2006 00:04:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1160463886.894724.96810@i42g2000cwa.googlegroups.com> (raw)

I need to have emacs indent C++ code using only spaces, and no tab
characters.

I edited the options in the Programming/Languages/C group so that:
C Basic Offset is 3
C Tab Always Indent is "always indents"
C Insert Tab Function is "insert-tab"
C Syntactic Indentation is non-nil
C Offsets Alist: substatement-open is 0

In many cases, the indentation is correct, but when I have several
levels of sub-statements, tab characters are inserted anyway. See the
example below. What other options control this behaviour?

void B::e()
{
   if ()
   {
      ;
      if ()
      {
	 ; // tab character at beginning of this line!
      }
      ;
   }
}
