+** Highlight indentation

+   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
+     (depends-on "hl-indent")
+   #+END_SRC
+
+   Some languages base their ideas of scope on levels of indentation.
+   When these languages get long functions/branches it can get tricky
+   to see where these blocks end. Of course if you have such large
+   functions you might have other problems, but this is sometimes out
+   of your hands. To help, I use =hl-indent-mode=.
+
+   For other languages it might look fun for a little while as well,
+   but since they don't care about indentation as much it can
+   sometimes get messy.
+
+   First, =hl-indent-mode= doesn't have an =;;;###autoload= cookie for its
+   main entry-point, so I add it manually:
+
+   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+     (autoload 'hl-indent-mode "hl-indent" nil t)
+   #+END_SRC
+
+   Then I enable it for the languages I want.
+
+   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+     (add-hook 'python-mode-hook #'hl-indent-mode)
+     (add-hook 'yaml-mode-hook #'hl-indent-mode)
+     (add-hook 'haml-mode-hook #'hl-indent-mode)
+   #+END_SRC
