Everyone please use the [code] and [/code] stylecodes around code sections. It's especially important with Python since indentation has special meaning. Thank you.

Sorry, forgot to type anything last time !!

Could you give us an example, including a couple of indented blocks, or point me to an existing (on this board) good example.

Thanks

Sure. When HTML is rendered by a web browser, whitespace is not preserved. Therefore, tabs and spaces get condensed unless you use special tags like <pre> to tell the browser to use a fixed-width font and maintain whitespace. PH has the [code] and [/code] tags to do just this.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

vs.

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Both of these samples have four spaces before the call to main(), but only the first displays them.

If you click on "Reply" to this message, you will be able to see the special tags I entered around the first example.
