4.4 Advanced Customizations

For most users, VHDL Mode will support their coding styles with very little need for customizations. Usually, one of the standard styles defined in vhdl-style-alist will do the trick. Sometimes, one of the syntactic symbol offsets will need to be tweaked slightly, or perhaps vhdl-basic-offset will need to be changed. However, some styles require a more advanced ability for customization, and one of the real strengths of VHDL Mode is that the syntactic analysis model provides a very flexible framework for customizing indentation. This allows you to perform special indentation calculations for situations not handled by the mode directly.
