Tabs

Plain text

Tabs in the indent are preserved.

As long as tab stops represent more that 1 space in the editor, a single tab character will separate paragraphs by indent.

language: "plaintext", tabWidth: 2

-→a b c       ->      -→a b¦
-→d  ¦                -→c d¦
-→-→e f               -→-→e¦
     ¦                -→-→f¦

Comments

language: "c", tabWidth: 4

All tabs in the comment prefix are preserved.

---→//-→text text text       ->      ---→//-→text text   ¦
---→//-→text        ¦                ---→//-→text text   ¦

Odd cases

It also works with a mix of tabs and spaces on one line

··-→·// text text text      ->      ··-→·// text text   ¦
                    ¦               ··-→·// text        ¦

Tabs in the comment content can make things tricky, and therefore all tabs that appear after the column where text begins are converted to spaces when wrapping.

---→//·text text text      ->      ---→//·text text  ¦
---→//-→text      ¦                ---→//··text text ¦

Markdown

Because tab characters in the middle of a line could produce weird results when wrapping, all tabs are replaced with the correct number of spaces when wrapping. This only happens on lines that are wrapped.
