[San-Diego-pm] Perl Mongers Meeting Tuesday, October 13th

[Keith Thompson]

As discussed in the meeting, here's the relevant line from my .vimrc:

set listchars=tab:┌┬┐,trail:·

The non-ASCII characters are:
250c:BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT DOWN AND RIGHT
252c:BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT DOWN AND HORIZONTAL
2510:BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT DOWN AND LEFT
b7:MIDDLE DOT

A sample looks like this (with tabstop=4):

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
┌┬┬┐for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i ++) {
┌┬┬┐if (i % 15 == 0) {
┌┬┬┐┌┬┬┐puts("FizzBuzz");
┌┬┬┐}
┌┬┬┐else if (i % 3 == 0) {
┌┬┬┐┌┬┬┐puts("Fizz");
┌┬┬┐}
┌┬┬┐else if (i % 5 == 0) {
┌┬┬┐┌┬┬┐puts("Buzz");
┌┬┬┐}
┌┬┬┐else {
┌┬┬┐┌┬┬┐printf("%d\n", i);
┌┬┬┐}
┌┬┬┐}
┌┬┬┐return 0;
}

Here every tab occupies 4 columns, but it also works nicely when tabs
expand to a varying number of columns and/or you have odd mixtures of tabs
and spaces:

x x
 x┌┐x
  x┐  x
   x┌┬┬┐x
