A couple of questions/thoughts on modelines[1]:
1) Should emacs (and other) modelines be added to the generated modelines at
[1], e.g., setq as mentioned by Zawinski[2]?
2) In the absence of any other user preference, what is the Wireshark
recommendation on modeline settings, if any? The following seems to be the
default settings generated at [1], so am I right to assume that would be the
recommendation - at least for files with all (or mostly) spaces and tabs?
/*
* Editor modelines - http://www.wireshark.org/tools/modelines.html
*
* Local variables:
* c-basic-offset: 4
* tab-width: 8
* indent-tabs-mode: nil
* End:
*
* vi: set shiftwidth=4 tabstop=8 expandtab:
* :indentSize=4:tabSize=8:noTabs=true:
*/
And for files with all (or mostly) tabs instead of spaces, would the
recommendation be to stick with tabs and adjust the modelines above slightly as
follows:
/*
* Editor modelines - http://www.wireshark.org/tools/modelines.html
*
* Local variables:
* c-basic-offset: 4
* tab-width: 8
* indent-tabs-mode: t
* End:
*
* vi: set shiftwidth=4 tabstop=8 noexpandtab:
* :indentSize=4:tabSize=8:noTabs=false:
*/
Thanks.
