This is the One True Indenting Method.
do not listen to the false prophets. the classic is still the best
May you and your so-called 'One True Indenting Method' be cast down along with all those who use Emacs!
Thou shalt use the One True Tab!
Two spaces make my eyes hurt!
Two for some. Four for others. A single TAB for others. It all depends on how important indentation is to understanding the code.
One tab. One tab CHARACTER. If you indent any given level with one tab (that is, one tab more than the previous), then you can customize your editor to make the tab character look like <x> space(s). One single character means anything.
USE EDITORS THAT SUPPORT TABS! One tab is all you need, and it can mean whatever you want to whoever needs it.
I agree with VxJasonxV. I use tabs with my editor displaying it as the equivalent of, depending on the language and style, either two or three spaces.
