Hello,
I've noticed that some of the Yaws source is rather difficult to read
due to inconsistent use of whitespace. Within the *.erl files in the
src directory there are 7134 lines beginning with a tab, 4366 lines
beginning with a space, and 4572 lines that mix spaces and tabs at the
beginning of the line. Wouldn't it be better to use consistent
whitespace throughout the project?

This is the way emacs does it. I guess at least 50% of all opensource code
is written with emacs. What tool do you use to view the code. I guess vi does the
same, but I don't know.

It depends on the mode. Python mode for example uses spaces for
everything, no tabs whatsoever. Erlang mode could be "fixed" to do
something more consistent too.
vim doesn't normally do the same thing.

I would tend to agree that it should only indent with spaces, or
indent with tabs, however I think the erlang standard of 4 spaces is
easier to deal with in general. Erlang-mode is maintained in the otp
package so maybe this should be taken to erlang-users list or
erlang-bugs list.

I use Emacs with a tab-width of 8, which results in incorrect
formatting in files like yaws_vdir.erl that use spaces for indentation
in some lines and tabs in others with a different tab-width.
I've always setq-default'd indent-tabs-mode to nil in my .emacs, so I
never use tabs in my own code.

this should work for everyone
(add-hook 'erlang-mode-hook '(lambda() (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)))
