    Emacs, and I bet every reasonable text editor, has "language modes"
which indent for you with built-in syntax knowledge, wether C, Ada,
HTML, SVG, XML, Bash, Makefile, PostScript and certainly much more than
one single person can imagine.

    In Emacs, it is tricky to disable these modes -- and why would you?
--  but you can define the tabulation length.
