When working with text files in emacs separating strings with tabs results in highly uneven spacing. Sometimes pressing the [Tab] key produces two line continuation arrors before stopping half-way across the buffer screen. Looking at the result in a v.t. using the 'joe' editor shows this variable spacing. And, it turns out that in joe there are more than single tabs separating many of the strings.
The current situation is generating a tab-separated file of data for input to an application. Does anyone know why this happens? Can't think of appropriate web search terms to look for a reason.
