That sounds like it is simply indenting the whole line... not reformatting the actual block... i.e. respacing internally within the line. Which is what the elastic tabstops is doing.
It's not simply realigning each line. It's reformatting the entire block, realigning ALL tabstops within the lines, so that blocks of text are all positioned within a grid.

It seems realigning each line is not that simple.
- ryanbooker 18y agoThat's hardly the point now is it? You knew exactly what the expression I used means in this context.
- d0mine 18y agoI've no idea what "simply indenting the whole line" could mean other then "simply indenting the whole line". :)
- DougBTX 18y agoElastic tab stops is actually orthogonal to this. Aligning elastic tab stops is easy (minor complications caused by blank lines), knowing how many tab stops to put in is where those 27 000 lines of lisp come in.
