Use the controls in this preference group to specify tab settings for the Editor pane.
Controls and push buttons are:
| Tab stops | Enter one or more positive integers, each separated by a space, to specify tab stop positions on each line. For example, entering 1 2 5 9 will place tabs stops at columns 1, 2, 5, and 9. |
|---|---|
| Tab increment | Enter a positive integer to specify the interval between tab stops following the last tab stop specified in Tab stops above. For example, if you specify an interval of 8 in conjunction with a Tab stops setting of 1 2 5 9, tabs stops are placed at columns 1, 2, 5, 9, 17, 25, 33, and so on. |
| Expand tab characters | If selected, tab characters are expanded by replacing them with the appropriate number of space characters in the file. |
