But for it to change just by copying from one folder to another - no! I use -gnaty (default style checks) for my own projects, so I've become accustomed to 3-spaces. Except on Stack Overflow, where Markdown uses a minimum of 4-spaces for code inserts.

Many Thanks for that very useful info.

Could you tell me how to override that default setting and go to two spaces?

Thanks  - Austin
