tabs pic mode and org

tabs pic mode and org

[Rustom Mody]

When I try to use ditaa with org (which is a very neat combo BTW)
I keep getting tabs in the picture which gives hell if I move rectangles around.

What is the way of telling org (or it picture mode?) -- No tab-chars please!

When I edit ditaa blocks in 

#begin_ditaa x.png

#end_ditaa

and then using C-c ' inside the block I never get TABs in the result.
This prefixes all of the lines with ': ' and uses spaces only for the
diagram.

Are you doing something differently?

My ditaa blocks look something like this:

* Test
#+begin_ditaa x.png
:              +--------+
:              |        |               +-----------------+
:              |        |               |                 |
:              |        |               |                 |
:              +--------+               +-----------------+
#+end_ditaa

I think it's just used to escape the data for the exporter but that's
just a guess.  Other people probably have a more definitive answer.

PS. If you include me in the To: header of mails directed at me you'll
    get a quicker response (without it I may miss your post completely)
    We normally use Reply-All on this list sending to interested parties
    and cc-ing the org-mode mailing list.

The leading ": " used to protect the drawing from strange
fontification.  This is no longer strictly necessary.
However, currently this lead string also ensures that "C-c '"
will edit the string in artist-mode, irrespective of the begin/end
wrapper, so that other ditaa-like programs could be used.
We could actually remove this lead string and implement direct
recognition of the ditaa block, but this is not really urgent.
I'll put it on my list.
