p.s. as a suggestion to Craig. Surely 8052.com could handle tab to space conversion in postings, thereby keeping most people happy
1) no forum I know of can do that. 2) how do you visualize that 8052.com could handle tab to space conversion in postings without knowing the position of the tab stops 3) any decent editor will do the conversion for you and the editor 'knows' the tab stop positions Erik I hope that I have not stirred up a hornets' nest. Several postings appear regularly with tabs. It is only when this happens inside some ASM or C source code that it causes irritation. I would suggest that expanding a default tab at 8 space intervals would "solve" "most" of the problems. Of course no-one knows for certain where tab stops are. Wise users like yourself have no difficulties because you send spaces. However many new users upload some source code which has to be cut, pasted and passed through indent before I can understand it. More help would be given and less new users would be put off by the usual response from this forum. David. |
