Re: [jed-users] entab/detab

[Roland Hughes <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You know, I tried to play with this today. I even read through the 
documentation. What I cannot find and will certainly create a blog post 
about is just how one provides a "prefix" argument to the untab() 
function from the S-Lang command line. This appears to be a piece of the 
lore "just assumed."

I looked at the code here: https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/19435302/

I also couldn't get untab_convert_to_tabs() to function. It went all the 
way to bottom of buffer, but didn't insert any tabs. Does this function 
not work if tabs are disabled in .jedrc?
