Q&A

Q Emacs chooses tab characters when indenting my code. How do I make it use spaces?

A Set the variable indent-tabs-mode to nil and tab characters will not be used during indentation.

Q My Emacs doesn't know about c-set-style! What should I do?

A The style feature of C editing mode was introduced in the late 19.3x series of Emacs. You need to upgrade to a newer version.

Q Speedbar doesn't know how to tag my Java files. What can I do?

A Some versions of XEmacs don't support Imenu. You need to install Imenu under XEmacs.
