Original: space-after-tab::space TABs are visualized when occurs 8 or more SPACEs after a TAB via faces. I would say space-after-tab::space TABs are visualized using faces when 8 or more SPACEs occur after a TAB. Original: space-before-tab::space TABs are visualized when occurs SPACEs before TAB via faces. I would say: space-before-tab::space TABs are visualized using faces when SPACEs occur before TAB. At least I think that's what I would say based on what I think the variable seems to do, though I can't really tell from the original wording. (This is not a criticism of the author, whose English is much better than my abilities in any non-English language!) I would be willing to go through the documentation strings to help clean up the English if it would help. -- Jay Berkenbilt ------------=_1250434505-2250-0 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Received: (at 3661-done) by emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com; 16 Aug 2009 14:47:12 +0000 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.5-bugs.debian.org_2005_01_02 (2008-06-10) on rzlab.ucr.edu X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Bayes: score:0.5 Bayes not run. spammytokens:Tokens not available. hammytokens:Tokens not available.
