Wheter you chose 2, 3 or 4 is up to you. 4 is mentioned in Phobos style guide, but it is up to you, what you prefer. I've always been partial to three, but I'm also more of a tab person. Less work, if you see what I'm saying.

For testing purposes, I replaced each tab with three spaces in this post: http://gtkdcoding.com/2019/05/31/0040-messagedialog.html If this works better for you, let me know and I can do a quick s-n-r on all blog posts and add this as the final prep step as the posts go up.

Turns out, it's GitHub inserting 8 spaces per tab. No idea why anyone would think this appropriate, but there it is. A workaround you can try for now is to click through to an example code (this won't work on the blog pages, just the code pages) and, at the end of the URL, type: ?ts=3 to get tabs that are three spaces. Any number between 1 and 12 will work, apparently. Hope this helps for now. I'm still looking into this to find a more permanent solution. This 8 spaces per tab bugs me, too.

Perhaps if I switched from using tabs to spaces... I'll try it with one of the posts and get back to you so you can test it... if that's okay with you.

I'll take a look at it myself sometime in the near future and see what I can come up with and if I can figure it out :) Also thank you for these blog posts. I enjoy reading them, also the MVC ones.

You're welcome, Andre. And thanks for saying so.
Is there a reason why the source code starts after a lot of
whitespaces on every line?
This causes some distruction on mobile phone as you have scroll
horizontally although it would fit the screen if the source
code would start at column 0.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've recently switched
from basic MD for displaying source and the way I was doing it
demanded that everything be indented one tab. I've since switched
to Jekyll/Liquid's {% highlight d %} system which doesn't have
this limitation.
Now that I know this is an issue, give me a some time and I'll
get all those extra indents removed.
