CONTEXT:
I am using Emacs to edit Python code and sometimes also Matlab code.
When I hit <return> in a loop of some sort, Emacs usually gets the
nesting indentation right, which is particularly important in Python.
To ensure this I have used python-mode.el and matlab.el modes in
emacs.
QUESTION:
If I suddenly decide I want an outer loop, do I have to manually
readjust the indentation of all the inner loops? Or can emacs do it
automatically? I know the Matlab in-built editor has a tool called
"smart-indent" which will automatically align highlighted text to have
the correct indentation. Does Emacs have something similar?
Thanks

Mark the lines to be readjusted, then hit 'C-c >' or 'C-c <'.
Or hit 'C-h m' to get an overview for Python mode.

I've liked the XEmacs python mode, as it is doesn't trigger the nasty
readline dependency. Possibly fixed.
At any rate, with a region selected, "C-c >" and "C-c <" do the
obvious.
Two other killer features of the One True Editor are rectangles,
e.g. "C-x r o" with a highlighted region, align-regexp, and registers.
Three! Three killer features of TOTE are rectangles, align-regexp,
registers, and PyMacs.
Oh! I'll just give up on the feeble Spanish Inquisition reference and
send you to http://www.emacswiki.org , where these and other righteous
goodies will, indeed, sanctify you within the bosom of the only editor
that has its own house of worship.
Best,

In emacs matlab-mode, highlight a region then use indent-region:
C-M-\ runs the command indent-region
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `indent'.
(indent-region START END COLUMN)
Indent each nonblank line in the region.
With prefix no argument, indent each line using `indent-according-to-mode',
or use `indent-region-function' to do the whole region if that's non-nil.
If there is a fill prefix, make each line start with the fill prefix.
With argument COLUMN, indent each line to that column.
When you call this from a program, START and END specify
the region to indent, and COLUMN specifies the indentation column.
If COLUMN is nil, then indent each line according to the mode.

Hello,
I'm using python to output RIB streams for Renderman.
The RIB stream is a bunch of statements which describes
a 3d image. The Rib standard allows for blocks which we
usually indent for better visualization for example:
WorldBegin
Color
Surface "constant"

I have a real basic how-to question. When I decide to reuse a piece of
python code at a different indentation level than the original, is there
a common trick (or set of tricks) for moving the indentation correctly
for the whole block? Probably this is editor dependent, so if some has
a FAQ or pointer to a page please feel free to post. Typical I use
PythonWin as my editor, though sometimes I use EditPadLite (an ascii
editor).
TIA

Hi,
After much use of tabs worth 8 spaces, and constantly having to

to using 4 spaces per tab. I feel like I'm about to lose a a

What are your views on this? Any words of sympathy? :0)

Tabs versus Spaces in Source Code
Xah Lee, 2006-05-13
In coding a computer program, there's often the choices of tabs or
spaces for code indentation. There is a large amount of confusion about
which is better. It has become what's known as “religious war” —
a heated fight over trivia. In this essay, i like to explain what is
the situation behind it, and which is proper.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
