Notepad is the default for *.txt on Windows. I can tell you from personal
experience running a cross-platform open source project that there are Windows
developers who use Visual whatever to open *.cpp and such but who let Notepad
continue to open *.txt because it’s faster.
For those people, I switched from tabs to spaces in that project's *.txt files.
(And also from Unix line endings to CR+LF!)

I thought this thread was about how web browsers displayed tabs. Surely IE’s
default is relevant here.

You’re mixing two unrelated things: what most programmers’ text editors do, and
what most web browsers do. They needn’t do the same thing. If you need them
to do the same thing, Fossil gives you a way to make them do that.

And it’s still true in Edge 41, Chrome 62, and Firefox 57, all released in late
2017.

Put it in the body { } element. It works here.
