From: Dirk Wallenstein Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2013 16:54:17 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/2] howto: Suppress indentation with tabs Message-ID: <20130731165417.GB11219@bottich> In-Reply-To: The AsciiDoc files in the 'howto' folder are installed as documentation and AsciiDoc files are meant to be read and printed as is. To quote the AsciiDoc Home Page: AsciiDoc files are designed to be viewed, edited and printed directly or translated to other presentation formats using the asciidoc(1) command. Tabs have the property of a configurable width and can thereby skew the layout of a page and distort the meaning. This is particularly a problem when mixing lines with different indentation (space vs tab) in code examples and ASCII art. Prevent such a mix-up by prohibiting tab indentation entirely.
