...and note that there is no guarantee whatsoever that the software somebody else uses to edit or view a file will treat a tab character as expanding to any given number of spaces - no guarantee of tab stops every 4 spaces, no guarantee of tab stops every 8 spaces, no guarantee that any comment you put into the file will cause an editor to put tab stops in particular places, no guarantee that a particular developer will have configured their editor/IDE/whatever to put tab stops every 4 spaces or 8 spaces or whatever. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
