I recently changed the copyright headers in XML files in one of my

However, this doesn't play well with my formatting fixup function:
(defun ide-fix ()
"Remove trailing spaces and fix indentation"
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(replace-regexp "[ \t]+$" "")
(goto-char (point-min))
(replace-string "\t" " ")
(indent-region (point-min) (point-max))))

(Or should I just bite the bullet and go back to the old copyright
headers?)
Thanks!
