3/22    Say all of your coworkers use Visualsomething for development and
        all the indentations are tabs. How do you tell Emacs to treat tabs
        as an indentation size of 2 spaces?
        \_ <meta>-x replace-string <tab> with <space><space>
           \_ oh, you'd be popular in a development group...
        \_ Or you could use the standard tool your group uses and use Visual
           Something(c) also which is what would happen in a real company.
           Standard tools and coding standards means much less nonsense over
           stuff like this.  Or convince them all to use emacs (good luck!)
        \_ There's a tab-width variable for just this, and a google for
           'emacs tab width' turns up a number of resources.
           \_ That's too easy.
        \_ Time to quit and work for a company that hires people with a clue.
