As it is, the only way to figure that out (other than loking at code (:)) is to infer it from the .emacs example, which doesn't come until 8 chapters later in the document. Maybe: Outside of comments, documentation, and Kconfig, use TAB characters for indentation. Spaces are never used for indentation, and the above example is deliberately broken in several ways, including use of spaces. scott - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
