Currently, the mode will not allow a tab (let alone multiple tabs) to be placed while in a comment. It seems to insist on formatting the contents of the comment. Not really formatting per se, mainly just disallowing any format I want to put in there. Thanks for any help. - Chris _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
