Tabs and Spaces

[Chris Gordon-Smith]

Hello All

I have recenly started using emacs for programming, after years using 
KDevelop. One problem I have is indenting code. I have my own indentation 
style. and ideally I would like to setup emacs to support it automatically. 
However, in the short term I'll settle for having emacs convert a TAB 
keypress into the correct number of spaces to fill whitespace up to the 
next tabstop.

At the moment I have

(global-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'self-insert-command) 

in my .emacs to force insertion of a tab, but I have to keep invoking 
untabify manually (otherwise my code looks misaligned when I upload it to 
Google Code).

Can anyone help.
