I want to use XHTML mode to edit xhtml file with emacs22. But I feel that
this mode's indentation is too wide. How can I customize it? I read the
Emacs Manual but found no answer. Can somebody help me? Thanks.

I'm in the same boat.  I want to customize the (X)HTML mode indentation,
but haven't been able to find any docs explaining how to do it.  Please
help us :)

Cheers!

As far as i can see the indentation step is set via
`sgml-basic-offset'.  But it defaults to "2" and i don't
think anyone would think that this is "to wide".

Okay... I dunno what my offset is set to, but it looks more like
10 or 15.  Certainly not 2.  I would be happy with 2 or 4.  Do I
just set this in my .emacs file?  Will it not be overridden when
I start up SGML/HTML mode?

Thanks,

Brad

The default behavior sould be fine, if all you want is 2-column
indentation in XHTML buffers.

Can you open a buffer in sgml-mode and then check the value of
the following variables?

    indent-tabs-mode
    tab-always-indent

Then use `C-h k TAB' and see what TAB is bound to do.

Keep the results from these steps somewhere, and then repeat the
same steps with an Emacs session started with:

    emacs -Q

Keep these results somewhere too and post both sets back to the
newsgroup.
