729979 - MXR doesn't honor the Emacs tab-width setting in source files

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: MXR, defect)

Description

[Wan-Teh Chang]

Many NSPR and NSS source files use tab characters with a tab width of 8.
MXR displays these files with a tab width of 2, so the indentation looks
wrong.

I was able to correct this problem by adding an Emacs "Mode" line with
"tab-width: 8" to the beginning of source files.  But this no longer
works now.  Is this a regression?  Here are two examples:

See NowCalibrate in this file.

See ssl3_CompressMACEncryptRecord in this file.

Thank you for your help with this problem.

mxr is gone, mass closing.
https://searchfox.org/ is a much better alternative.
