-**NOTE:**
-  * **set expandtab** allows to replace the tabs by white spaces characters :h 'expandtab'.
-  * **set shiftwidth=2** makes the tabulations be 2 white spaces :h 'shiftwidth'.
-  * **set autoindent**:  to automatically indent newlines.
-    * **autoindent** essentially tells vim to apply the indentation of the current line to the next (created by pressing **<enter>** in insert mode or with **O** or **o** in normal mode.
-  * **set smartindent**:  reacts to the syntax of the code.
-    * **smartindent** reacts to the syntax/style of the code you are editing (especially for C).
-    * When having it on you also should have autoindent on.
-  * **:help autoindent** also mentions two alternative settings:
-    * **cindent** and **indentexpr**, both of which make vim ignore the value of **smartindent**.
-  * You could also be interested by by :h 'tabstop' which defines the number of spaces that a tab character in the file counts for.
-  * As a bonus see :h 'smartindent' and :h 'autoindent' which are pretty useful.
