Hi Frank,
It is easy to do in TeXmacs using the search and replace tool (the separate
window version).
Just search the 'no-indent' tag and systematically replace it by nothing.
But there are a few other issues with Richard's files that I mentioned:
the empty lines and the 'marked' code. We could help him to make these
things look better and more robust at the same time.
Best wishes, --Joris
