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.
