Again: Not the question.

It's very easy: some ppl use tabs and the editing looks different to the final display.

Making that consistent° will spare us from seeing some ugly code.

off topic

If you want to forbid tabs altogether, you or others are free to implement² an untabify feature like in emacs and many other IDEs.

But that's another discussion and step. And it won't make misformatted code better readable. Especially as long as the input textarea looks different to the final rendering (sic).

Regarding perltiy: I'm looking forward to see the patch³ to integrate this here.

Untabbify for vim (add to .vimrc) `:map <F3> :%s/\t/ /g <CR>` [download] Then press F3 to untabify ;-) PerlMonks XP is useless? Not anymore: XPD - Do more with your PerlMonks XP	[reply] [d/l]

I would anchor it to line start only, maybe with the exemption of leading `#` ... to assure only indentation is replaced. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
