Re: Org not preserving Python indent levels on LaTex export due to tabs

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

i can't seem to find the -i flag in the manual.  perhaps i used the
wrong search term?  i looked in literal examples and in working with
source code.  i am using maint.

also:

  - is there another flag to set org-src-preserve-indentation to nil?
  - will -i still work if org-src.preserve-indentation is t?

thanks.

i'd be happy with a fixed 2-space indentation, but that is not
possible in current org.  i find org-src-preserve-indentation to cause
more issues than it improves, so i am going to transition to it being
t, which feels safer even though it is not the default and does not
have the 2 spaces.
