817 The whitespace library is intended to find and help fix five different types
818 of whitespace problems that commonly exist in source code.
820 1. Leading space (empty lines at the top of a file).
821 2. Trailing space (empty lines at the end of a file).
822 3. Indentation space (8 or more spaces at beginning of line, that should be
824 4. Spaces followed by a TAB. (Almost always, we never want that).
825 5. Spaces or TABS at the end of a line.
827 Whitespace errors are reported in a buffer, and on the modeline.
829 Modeline will show a W:<x>!<y> to denote a particular type of whitespace,
830 where `x' and `y' can be one (or more) of:
832 e - End-of-Line whitespace.
833 i - Indentation whitespace.
834 l - Leading whitespace.
835 s - Space followed by Tab.
836 t - Trailing whitespace.
838 If any of the whitespace checks is turned off, the modeline will display a
841 (since (3) is the most controversial one, here is the rationale: Most
842 terminal drivers and printer drivers have TAB configured or even
843 hardcoded to be 8 spaces. (Some of them allow configuration, but almost
844 always they default to 8.)
846 Changing `tab-width' to other than 8 and editing will cause your code to
847 look different from within Emacs, and say, if you cat it or more it, or
850 Almost all the popular programming modes let you define an offset (like
851 c-basic-offset or perl-indent-level) to configure the offset, so you
852 should never have to set your `tab-width' to be other than 8 in all these
853 modes. In fact, with an indent level of say, 4, 2 TABS will cause Emacs
854 to replace your 8 spaces with one \t (try it). If vi users in your
855 office complain, tell them to use vim, which distinguishes between
856 tabstop and shiftwidth (vi equivalent of our offsets), and also ask them
859 All the above have caused (and will cause) unwanted codeline integration and
862 whitespace.el will complain if it detects whitespaces on opening a file, and
863 warn you on closing a file also (in case you had inserted any
864 whitespaces during the process of your editing)."
