2009-01-29fix emacs indenting howto filename expansionDan Carpenter
I don't think emacs understands tilde expansion, so use "expand-file-name" to do that. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-01-29Documentation: update CodingStyle tips for Emacs usersTeemu Likonen
With the previous Emacs tips example the kernel style was made available for files in the kernel-tree only. This patch updates the tip to add a separate cc-mode indent style ("linux-tabs-only"). This makes it easy to switch between different indent styles and also makes the kernel style easily available for any filetype mode (c++, awk, ...) that is managed by the Emacs cc-mode.

2007-10-17CodingStyle: relax the 80-cole ruleAlan Cox
I would suggest this change to make CodingStyle properly reflect the style used by the kernel, rather than the current wording which is wishful thinking and misleading, and comes from the same school of thought that gets off on prescriptive grammar, latin and comp.std.c Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
