Code Indentation
----------------

   Like all Emacs programming modes, IDLWAVE performs code indentation.
The <TAB> key indents the current line relative to context.  <LFD>
insert a newline and indents the new line.  The indentation is governed
by a number of variables.

   To re-indent a larger portion of code (e.g. when working with
foreign code written with different conventions), use `M-C-\'
(`indent-region') after marking the relevant code.  Useful marking
commands are `C-x h' (the entire file) or `M-C-h' (the current
subprogram). Note: Actions, for information how to impose additional
formatting conventions on foreign code.

 - User Option: idlwave-main-block-indent (`0')
     Extra indentation for the main block of code.  That is the block
     between the FUNCTION/PRO statement and the END statement for that
     program unit.

 - User Option: idlwave-block-indent (`5')
     Extra indentation applied to block lines.  If you change this, you
     probably also want to change `idlwave-end-offset'.

 - User Option: idlwave-end-offset (`-4')
     Extra indentation applied to block END lines.  A value equal to
     negative `idlwave-block-indent' will make END lines line up with
     the block BEGIN lines.

 - User Option: idlwave-continuation-indent (`2')
     Extra indentation applied to continuation lines and inside
     unbalanced parenthesis.
