Thread: Emacs local vars at the tail of every file

Emacs local vars at the tail of every file

From

I don't know if this changes the calculus but apparently we've already decided
to go down the route of having Emacs local variables attached to every file in
the source directory. We have things like this there:

<!-- Keep this comment at the end of the file
Local variables:
mode: sgml
sgml-omittag:nil
sgml-shorttag:t
sgml-minimize-attributes:nil
sgml-always-quote-attributes:t
sgml-indent-step:1
sgml-indent-data:t
sgml-parent-document:nil
sgml-default-dtd-file:"../reference.ced"
sgml-exposed-tags:nil
sgml-local-catalogs:"/usr/lib/sgml/catalog"
sgml-local-ecat-files:nil
End:
-->

And indeed I'd argue for taking those *out* of the docs files, and
adding them to the suggested emacs config-file hacking.  A sufficient
reason why is that I doubt these settings are uniformly valid across
all emacs versions.  We already know that the C-code indentation
settings have changed, and this sgml configuration is far more detailed
than those.

I delete them from every file I edit, but I haven't been interested 
enough to remove them all.  Feel free to do the legwork.
