> Key: FREEMARKER-19
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-19
> Project: Apache Freemarker
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.3.24
> Reporter: Daniel Dekany
> Assignee: Daniel Dekany
> Fix For: 2.3.25
>
>
> 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).
