A tab sets the cursor to the next tab stop; it is not moving the cursor for a special number of spaces (only at very simple editors). So if the next tab stop is at e.g. column 16 (which normally is not "16 characters from the left margin" but units of your choice, centimeter, millimeter, miles...) and both of the types above end before column 16 it aligns perfectly. Only if one of the texts goes beyond the tab stop the alignment will be disturbed. > With spaces you will only get it to line up with non- > proportional fonts. Even Gutenberg used proportional fonts. Non-proportional were developed for the simplicity of mechanical typewriters and had some right in early days of computers. > Tabs will line it up for a particular font, but > is not portable to a different font. Tabs don't care for fonts. > It is best to avoid doing these > kinds on inter-line alignments. Use a formatter set up for your requirements and use it once before reading external code. > For indentation tabs only or spaces only will both work if your tool > supports tabs (which once again not all tools do). For example? Bye Hauke Ingmar
