;; Commands to optimize spaces to tabs or expand tabs to spaces in a region
;; (`tabify' and `untabify'). The variable tab-width does the obvious.

"Convert all tabs in region to multiple spaces, preserving columns.
Called non-interactively, the region is specified by arguments
START and END, rather than by the position of point and mark.
The variable `tab-width' controls the spacing of tab stops."

(narrow-to-region (point-min) end)
(goto-char start)

"Regexp matching whitespace that tabify should consider.
Usually this will be \" [ \\t]+\" to match a space followed by whitespace.
\"^\\t* [ \\t]+\" is also useful, for tabifying only initial whitespace.")
