This is a minor bug but worth noting. Here’s some code indented by  
ruby-mode.el (1.8.6-p36).

[snip]

foo do |x|  
end

a ||  
b

[snip]

The variable “b” should be indented, but it’s not. The indentation  
appears properly if you remove the method call to foo , or remove the  
block from that method call, or change the ‘||’ operator to ‘&&’. It  
looks like an interaction between the ‘||’ and the preceding block but  
I don’t have the elisp-fu to be sure.

Hope this helps,
