Re: Changing auto-indent behaviour for tabular environments

[pglpm]

PS: You can also turn off this special kind of aligned indentation for all LaTeX 
environments via the customizable variable "Latex Indent Environment Check".

Finally, as something more advanced, one could re-define the built-in 
"LaTeX-indent-tabular" function, in such a way that this kind of indentation 
does not take place when some rows are too long. But I fear such redefinition could break 
some things either now or in future AUCTeX updates.

Cheers,
Luca
