512 "A summary of whitespaces and what this library can do about them.
514 The whitespace library is intended to find and help fix five different types
515 of whitespace problems that commonly exist in source code.
517 1. Leading space (empty lines at the top of a file).
518 2. Trailing space (empty lines at the end of a file).
519 3. Indentation space (8 or more spaces at beginning of line, that should be
520 replaced with TABS).
521 4. Spaces followed by a TAB. (Almost always, we never want that).
522 5. Spaces or TABS at the end of a line.
524 Whitespace errors are reported in a buffer, and on the modeline.
526 Modeline will show a W:<x> to denote a particular type of whitespace, where
527 `x' can be one (or more) of:
529 e - End-of-Line whitespace.
530 i - Indentation whitespace.
531 l - Leading whitespace.
532 s - Space followed by Tab.
533 t - Trailing whitespace.
535 (since (3) is the most controversial one, here is the rationale: Most
536 terminal drivers and printer drivers have TAB configured or even
537 hardcoded to be 8 spaces. (Some of them allow configuration, but almost
538 always they default to 8.)
540 Changing tab-width to other than 8 and editing will cause your code to
541 look different from within Emacs, and say, if you cat it or more it, or
542 even print it.
544 Almost all the popular programming modes let you define an offset (like
545 c-basic-offset or perl-indent-level) to configure the offset, so you
546 should never have to set your tab-width to be other than 8 in all these
547 modes. In fact, with an indent level of say, 4, 2 TABS will cause Emacs
548 to replace your 8 spaces with one \t (try it). If vi users in your
549 office complain, tell them to use vim, which distinguishes between
550 tabstop and shiftwidth (vi equivalent of our offsets), and also ask them
551 to set smarttab.)
553 All the above have caused (and will cause) unwanted codeline integration and
554 merge problems.
556 whitespace.el will complain if it detects whitespaces on opening a file, and
557 warn you on closing a file also. (if in case you had inserted any
558 whitespaces during the process of your editing.)"
