Re^2: How has your coding style changed over the years?

If someone is using an indentation different to 4 you'll get ugly results. (That's actually a running gag in code sections posted here, because browsers still default to tab=8)

The only right thing your editor can do is reindenting all the code, which will result in a full diff when checking into version control.

And even with indent 4 calling untabify (or whatever it's called in vim) will cause unwanted diffs.

My strategy is to commit the untabified version first. But doing this everytime a colleague touched the file might get annoying.

So this question is of relevance when working in a team, IMHO. (And yes certainly YMMV)

this seems to have been fixed in the CSS or at least for Chrome

for my $x (@a) {
    print; # 1 tab
    print;     # 4 blanks
}
