Dumb indentation mode is appropriate for editing buffers that Emacs does not fully understand syntactically, such as HTML/PHP (typically involving multiple languages with different indentation rules in the same buffer). The default indentation level is 2 (customize `stupid-indent-level'). Key bindings: TAB -- indent current line by the value of `stupid-indent-level' S-TAB -- outdent current line C-c TAB -- indent region C-c S-TAB -- outdent region RET -- newline and indent C-c C-TAB -- indent according to mode
