I tried the example in action and its awefull.

I tried this:

if x = 1 then begin<TAB>// my comment on ifs
<TAB>y:= 2;<TAB>//yes y gets 2
end;

this was NOT what I wanted - to make it "better" i changed to:


if <TAB>x = 1 then begin<TAB>// my comment on ifs
<TAB>y:= 2;<TAB>//yes y gets 2
end;

not nice eighter - I am to stupid for those smart elastic tabs.

cheers,

Adrian.
