I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong here, I'm using a \kill
'd line to mark the tabs first, but it's still giving me an undefined tab position error.
The error is reported for line 0 so I'm not sure which of these is causing it.
\begin{framed}
\begin{tabbing}
tabs \= tabs \= tabs \kill
Give $a$ the value 2.
Give \emph{prime} the value $T$.
While $a \leq \sqrt{n}$ and \emph{prime} $= T$
\> if $a$ divides $n$
\> \> then give \emph{prime} the value $F$
\> \> else increase the value of $a$ by 1.
\end{tabbing}
\end{framed}
\begin{framed}
\begin{tabbing}
tabs \= tabs \= tabs \kill
Give $a$ the value $m$, and $b$ the value $n$.
Find remainder $r$ of $a$ divided by $b$.
While $r \neq 0$:
\> assign $a$ the value $b$
\> assign $b$ the value $r$
\> recompute the remainder when
\> $a$ is divided by $b$.
Give $d$ the value of $b$.
\end{tabbing}
\end{framed}
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Since you're not inserting any line breaks, more than 3 "tab skips" occurs in the last line of the first
tabbing
.The
tabbing
environment requires line breaks\\
which allows for adequate tabbing\>
:More specifically,
tabbing
has/requires the syntax:\=
defines a tab position;\>
defines a tab skip;\\
inserts a line break (and "resets" the tab positions);\kill
removes a line insidetabbing
(typically used in the "tab position/first" line).
