#140185 - TABs are entirely unreliable - just avoid them!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
David Prentice said:
as a suggestion to Craig. Surely 8052.com could handle tab to space conversion in postings, thereby keeping most people happy.

How would that work?

The interpretation of TABs is entirely configurable - you can't even rely on getting the same results from the same application if someone's fiddled with the settings.

As Erik says, any decent editor can be set to insert spaces when you press the TAB key...

So, just use spaces - you know exactly where you are with spaces!
