;;; Commentary:
;; Commands to optimize spaces to tabs or expand tabs to spaces in a region
;; (`tabify' and `untabify'). The variable tab-width does the obvious.
;;; Code:
;;;###autoload
(defun untabify (start end)
"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."
(interactive "r")
(save-excursion
(save-restriction
(narrow-to-region (point-min) end)
(goto-char start)
(while (search-forward "\t" nil t) ; faster than re-search
(let ((tab-beg (point))
(column (current-column))
(indent-tabs-mode nil))
(skip-chars-backward "\t" start)
(delete-region tab-beg (point))
(indent-to column))))))
;;;###autoload
(defun tabify (start end)
"Convert multiple spaces in region to tabs when possible.
A group of spaces is partially replaced by tabs
when this can be done without changing the column they end at.
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."
(interactive "r")
(save-excursion
(save-restriction
;; Include the beginning of the line in the narrowing
;; since otherwise it will throw off current-column.
(goto-char start)
(beginning-of-line)
(narrow-to-region (point) end)
(goto-char start)
(while (re-search-forward "[ \t][ \t][ \t]*" nil t)
