---------------------------------------
Summary: 2.3.24 calculates column number with tab size 1 instead
of 8
Key: FREEMARKER-19
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-19
Project: Apache Freemarker
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Daniel Dekany
Assignee: Daniel Dekany
This change has slipped in with the JavaCC update in 2.3.24 (JavaCC has changed
the default tab size from 8 to 1). It affects the column numbers shown in error
messages, not the template output. While tab size 1 is better than 8 for most
use cases (such as for placing error markers in IDE-s), it was 8 so far, so
this change is not backward compatible, and the default has to be changed back
to 8. On the same time, we should add a {{tab_size}} configuration setting.
After all, we don't know what the tab size is in an application. Also that
allows setting it to 1 (that's often practical).
