Subject: Indenting Strings (How to?)
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 15:32:31 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2r7ynvdv4.fsf@syr-24-59-76-83.twcny.rr.com> (raw)
A lot of times when I'm coding I'll have a very long string or
comments which is some other kind of code (i.e. HTML or CSS embedded
in a Perl CGI script) or is text. Many times I'll try to keep the
indentation neat, but pressing tab in a string (or comments) doesn't
do anything (in CPerl mode, PHP mode, or any other mode). This means
that I end up having to space over manually (a royal PITA).
Is there a good way to tell emacs to either treat all comments
and strings as normal text (i.e so I can get basic tabbing and
justification), or (even better), to set rules concerning how to treat
comments and strings.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
