Bug#354054: vim: octave .m files are not properly indented

[Kamaraju Kusumanchi]

Package: vim
Version: 1:6.4-007+1
Severity: minor


$cat test.m
for i=1:4
for j=1:4
disp(i*j)
end
end

To format this code, I selected all the 5 lines using V and hit =

But this resulted in the code being formatted as

for i=1:4
	for j=1:4
		disp(i*j)
end
end

I think it is better to indent the code as

for i=1:4
	for j=1:4
		disp(i*j)
	end
end

as that is what one would get, if the user is entering the program line by line
to begin with.

BTW, .m files are octave programs. The above code is a valid octave program. I
am filing it as a minor since it is a cosmetic issue and does not affect the
functionality of the vim as such.

thanks
