Hi
Every now and again I have to work with C files that have mixed hard/soft tabs with an indent per level of 4 but a hard tab size of 8. Personally I hate this formatting and I will beautify it if I have the choice but I often don't. SlickEdit seems to hate it as much as I do and insists that the hard tabs only indent by 4 which makes the thing rather less readable. (Or I can set tab size to 8 which means that anything I edit goes wrong)
So my question is:
Can I separate hard tab indent size from "tab size"?
And if so then there is the follow up of "why doesn't adaptive format get it right?"
Thanks
