Emacs keeps screwing up the TABs in my table! How can I make it behave?
If you use a recent version of the Emacs editor to edit a Starbase table, you may find that it sometimes corrupts the TAB structure of the table. This is usually due to a default feature of the Emacs Text Mode: when you hit the TAB key, not only will Emacs insert a TAB character, it will also replace as many of the preceding spaces with TAB characters as possible while still keeping the same alignment. To make your Emacs compatible with Starbase, you need tell Emacs to only insert a single TAB when you hit the TAB key.
