Tabs vs Spaces Tabs are always correct, IF spaces are never used instead. One tab, for one level of indent. Adjust to preference. Alas, I don't think there's a standard way of specifying... // kate: space-indent off; indent-width 8; tab-width 8; mixedindent off; indent-mode tab; Similarly, // comments should be preferred, but /* comments */ are acceptable at the top of large function blocks for large blobs of comments. Judicious / sparing use as the key idea to make it worth the exceptions if commenting out large blocks during tests or refactors.
