There are some English errors in the help for the whitespace-style variable that render some of the text virtually unintelligible to a native English speaker (or at least to this particular native English speaker). Original: space-after-tab::space TABs are visualized when occurs 8 or more SPACEs after a TAB via faces. I would say space-after-tab::space TABs are visualized using faces when 8 or more SPACEs occur after a TAB. Original: space-before-tab::space TABs are visualized when occurs SPACEs before TAB via faces. I would say: space-before-tab::space TABs are visualized using faces when SPACEs occur before TAB. At least I think that's what I would say based on what I think the variable seems to do, though I can't really tell from the original wording. (This is not a criticism of the author, whose English is much better than my abilities in any non-English language!) I would be willing to go through the documentation strings to help clean up the English if it would help. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[email protected]>
