CC-Mode, Skeletons, Abbrevs and correct indentation

CC-Mode, Skeletons, Abbrevs and correct indentation

[Gabriel Foster]

Greetings,

	I'm trying to get abbrev's for if, while, for, and others to work with 
cc-mode and skeletons.  I'm having troubles getting the indentation to 
work correctly, and was hoping someone could point out the right 
direction to go.  My definitions go as follows:

(define-skeleton my-skel-c-if-stmt
   "Insert an if statement template."
   nil
   >"if ( " _ " )"?\n
   >"{"?\n
   ?\n
   >"}"?\n
   )
(define-abbrev c++-mode-abbrev-table "if" "" my-skel-c-if-stmt)o

Given my current cc-mode setup, my if's should look like

main( )
{
     if (  )
     {

     }

// but what I end up with is:
     if (  )
         {

             }

}

I've tried various combinations of >, \n and ?\n, but with no luck so 
far.  Can anyone see a way to fix this?

Thanks,

	Gabriel

Hmmm...

No one seems to have a clue about how to solve this issue, or if they 
do, they are not responding to this message.  I believe something is 
broken here, because the skeletons are not working as documented...  In 
any case, has someone succeeded in doing what I am trying to do using 
ANY method?

Thanks,

	Gabriel
