unchecked, the application uses space characters to form an indent. The number of space
characters that form a tab is defined by the Indent
size option.
- Indent size - Sets the number of space
characters or the tab size that equals a single indent. An indent can be a number of
spaces or a tab, selectable using the Indent With Tabs option. For
example, if set to 4, one tab equals:
- either 4 space characters, if the Indent With Tabs option is
unchecked;
- or one tab that spans 4 characters, if the Indent With Tabs
option is checked.
