+2. :DetectIndent Command				       *:DetectIndent*
+
+	The :DetectIndent command tries to intelligently set the 'shiftwidth',
+	'expandtab' and 'tabstop' options based upon the existing settings in
+	use in the active file.
+
+    Settings					       *detectindent-settings*
+
+	When the correct value for 'expandtab' cannot be determined, it will
+	usually retain its existing value. To specify that 'expandtab' should
+	be used where autodetection is impossible, set: >
+		:let g:detectindent_preferred_expandtab = 1
+<	in your |vimrc| file.
+
+	To set a preferred value for 'shiftwidth' and 'tabstop' when they
+	cannot be automatically detected, set: >
+		:let g:detectindent_preferred_indent = 4
+<	in your |vimrc| file.
+
+	To use the preferred values when both tabs and spaces are detected,
+	set: >
+		:let g:detectindent_preferred_when_mixed = 1
+<	in your |vimrc| file.
+
+	To set limit for number of lines that will be analysed set: >
+		:let g:detectindent_max_lines_to_analyse = 1024
+<	in your |vimrc| file.
+
+	To override |detectindent_preferred_expandtab| for specific filetypes
+	(example: use 4-character tabstops with tabs for python) set: >
+		:let b:detectindent_preferred_expandtab = 0
+	    	:let b:detectindent_preferred_indent = 4
+<	after/ftplugin/FILETYPENAMEHERE.vim (example:
+	after/ftplugin/python.vim). Using 0 acts as if the option was never
+	set.
