29 ;;
30 ;; The whitespace library is intended to find and help fix five different types
31 ;; of whitespace problems that commonly exist in source code.
32 ;;
33 ;; 1. Leading space (empty lines at the top of a file).
34 ;; 2. Trailing space (empty lines at the end of a file).
35 ;; 3. Indentation space (8 or more spaces at beginning of line, that should be
36 ;; replaced with TABS).
37 ;; 4. Spaces followed by a TAB. (Almost always, we never want that).
38 ;; 5. Spaces or TABS at the end of a line.
39 ;;
40 ;; Whitespace errors are reported in a buffer, and on the modeline.
41 ;;
42 ;; Modeline will show a W:<x>!<y> to denote a particular type of whitespace,
43 ;; where `x' and `y' can be one (or more) of:
44 ;;
45 ;; e - End-of-Line whitespace.
46 ;; i - Indentation whitespace.
47 ;; l - Leading whitespace.
48 ;; s - Space followed by Tab.
49 ;; t - Trailing whitespace.
50 ;;
51 ;; If any of the whitespace checks is turned off, the modeline will display a
52 ;; !<y>.
53 ;;
54 ;; (since (3) is the most controversial one, here is the rationale: Most
55 ;; terminal drivers and printer drivers have TAB configured or even
56 ;; hardcoded to be 8 spaces. (Some of them allow configuration, but almost
57 ;; always they default to 8.)
58 ;;
59 ;; Changing `tab-width' to other than 8 and editing will cause your code to
60 ;; look different from within Emacs, and say, if you cat it or more it, or
61 ;; even print it.
62 ;;
63 ;; Almost all the popular programming modes let you define an offset (like
64 ;; c-basic-offset or perl-indent-level) to configure the offset, so you
65 ;; should never have to set your `tab-width' to be other than 8 in all
66 ;; these modes. In fact, with an indent level of say, 4, 2 TABS will cause
67 ;; Emacs to replace your 8 spaces with one \t (try it). If vi users in
68 ;; your office complain, tell them to use vim, which distinguishes between
69 ;; tabstop and shiftwidth (vi equivalent of our offsets), and also ask them
70 ;; to set smarttab.)
71 ;;
72 ;; All the above have caused (and will cause) unwanted codeline integration and
73 ;; merge problems.
74 ;;
75 ;; whitespace.el will complain if it detects whitespaces on opening a file, and
76 ;; warn you on closing a file also (in case you had inserted any
77 ;; whitespaces during the process of your editing).
78 ;;
79 ;; Exported functions:
80 ;;
81 ;; `whitespace-buffer' - To check the current buffer for whitespace problems.
82 ;; `whitespace-cleanup' - To cleanup all whitespaces in the current buffer.
83 ;; `whitespace-region' - To check between point and mark for whitespace
84 ;; problems.
85 ;; `whitespace-cleanup-region' - To cleanup all whitespaces between point
86 ;; and mark in the current buffer.
