Since setting up at the new shop I have seen several issues with the legacy codebase that I am working with. The biggest thing that throws emacs off is the inconsistency’s that tabs cause in various parts of the code. some places have no tabs others are all tabs for indentation. Since I don’t really care one way or the other I finally googled ‘emacs + tabs’ and learned about tabify/untabify. This looks prommising since I can easily go one way or the other depending on what is in the region I need to work with.
