If vim's syntax colouring is correct, then it does need the tab for the code sequence to be recognised as a block of code. As kerneldoc is based on python, and white-space indentation defining a block of code is a very (annoying) pythonesque thing, it seems that vim's probably correct. But... unless someone knows how the .rst format really works... It could be that vim's syntax colouring for .rst files is broken. I was hoping that the documentation people would've spoken up about that though, as I explicitly stated in the commit message that the patch was based on vim's behaviour. Not having the tabs causes vim to reverse-bold a lot of the file, making it basically uneditable without sunglasses. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 12.1Mbps down 622kbps up According to speedtest.net: 11.9Mbps down 500kbps up
