indentation

I have a multiply nested namespace: namespace first {namespace second {namespace third { // emacs indents three times // I want to intend here } } } so emacs indents to the third position. However I just want a single indentation. Is it possible to accomplish this effect simply? Jürgen Hötzel Use an an absolute indentation column inside namespace: (defconst my-cc-style '("gnu" (c-offsets-alist . ((innamespace . [4]))))) (c-add-style "my-cc-style" my-cc-style) Then use c-set-style to use your own style. Note that this only works in c++-mode , c-mode doesn't know 'innamespace'. With c++-mode in

Some projects I work in uses tab key settings that equate to 3 or 4 spaces and another wants actual tabs. Another mixes the two depending on directory. Is there some way to set these settings per project, or even better, per file? If not, does someone have a clever way of dealing with this? (besides "just remember which setting you should use and change it before you start editing") Steven Kramer Update: This answer only applies to Xcode3. For newer versions, see James Turner's answer. Yes, go to View > Text > Tab Settings... There you specify the (file-specific) indentation settings which

I have several paragraphs that I would like to indent, although only the first lines of these paragraphs. How would I target just the first lines using CSS or HTML? Use the text-indent property. p { text-indent: 30px; } jsFiddle . In addition to text-indent, you can use the :first-line selector if you wish to apply additional styles. p:first-line { color:red; } p { text-indent:40px; } http://jsfiddle.net/Madmartigan/d4aCA/1/ Very simple using css: p { text-indent:10px; } Will create an indentation of 10 pixels in every paragraph. I was also having a problem getting the first line of a

Here is a subset of the Python grammar: single_input: NEWLINE | simple_stmt | compound_stmt NEWLINE stmt: simple_stmt | compound_stmt simple_stmt: small_stmt (';' small_stmt)* [';'] NEWLINE small_stmt: pass_stmt pass_stmt: 'pass' compound_stmt: if_stmt if_stmt: 'if' test ':' suite ('elif' test ':' suite)* ['else' ':' suite] suite: simple_stmt | NEWLINE INDENT stmt+ DEDENT (You can read the full grammar in the Python SVN repository: http://svn.python.org/.../Grammar ) I am trying to use this grammar to generate a parser for Python, in Python. What I am having trouble with is how to express the

When I copy a python code, and paste to vim. the indents are all error. but I paste into emacs or gedit, it is right. that is difficult to describle, let's see the screenshot. Notice:the blue and yellow line is just use the "indent guides plugin". This is the source code example: import threading import time class timer(threading.Thread): #The timer class is derived from the class threading.Thread def __init__(self, num, interval): threading.Thread.__init__(self) self.thread_num = num self.interval = interval self.thread_stop = False def run(self): #Overwrite run() method, put what you want

I am attempting to parse a simple indentation sensitive syntax using the Parslet library within Ruby. The following is an example of the syntax I am attempting to parse: level0child0 level0child1 level1child0 level1child1 level2child0 level1child2 The resulting tree would look like so: [ { :identifier => "level0child0", :children => [] }, { :identifier => "level0child1", :children => [ { :identifier => "level1child0", :children => [] }, { :identifier => "level1child1", :children => [ { :identifier => "level2child0", :children => [] } ] }, { :identifier => "level1child2", :children => [] }, ] }
