indent document

topic posted Tue, January 27, 2004 - 4:00 AM by  Gabriel
i often open an perl, c, sgml, document and have to suffer with the document not being formatted to my liking (or not formated at all.

since i am opening a document into a mode with some formatting aids usually its usually enough to mash the downarrow and the tab key dozens of times.

is there a classic way of doing this already in existence? seems like 'indent document' would be something each mode would have.

thanks
