The problem with the emacs Wiki page, is that it is written for someone for already knows how to use emacs. It's written in cookbook fashion (for someone who already knows how to cook), and not step-by-step fashion. This is great in general, I think. But it's bad for me. Here's an example. I put this code in my .emacs file: (defface extra-whitespace-face '((t (:background "pale green"))) "Used for tabs and such.") (defvar my-extra-keywords '(("\t" . 'extra-whitespace-face))) (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (font-lock-add-keywords nil my-extra-keywords))) (add-hook 'c-mode-hook (lambda () (font-lock-add-keywords nil my-extra-keywords))) And, it didn't work. No error messages or anything, so I have no clue what is wrong. > You should be able to add a tab manually, using > Control/Q then tab. Woohoo! Another tip! This will save me at least 5 minutes!
