if you use CodeWright which you can configure to convert tabs to spaces as you go Yes, that's what I meant by: any decent programmer's editor will be able to do the translation as you enter the text, by inserting the appropriate number of space characters when you press the TAB button... So you are, in fact, not using TAB characters; you are using spaces, and using the TAB button on your keyboard to tell the editor to work out how many spaces to insert. Codewright (like any other decent programmer's editor) also has the facility to convert existing TAB characters into appropriate sequences of spaces... |
