Tabs are never saved in formatting when you post
    #4808462 -

If you type something then want to hit "Tab" and leave that extra white space, it won't letya.

how do you even get a /tab into the message?

reply and quick reply pages move you to the 'Continue/Submit'
button when you hit tab....

I do know that all leading and trailing whitespace is formatted out
of posts and possibly between words as well.

yeah, they are probably running the following:

s/\t//g
s/^\s+//g
s/\s+$//g
s/\s+/ /g

Yup.

I posted a bunch of old poetry in my journal and had to lose a bunch of tabs and extra spaces between words. If we could even have a smiley called :space: that was one text space and as big as the tallest letter in the font, I would just copy and paste that.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

Quote:
The document character set includes a wide variety of white space characters. Many of these are typographic elements used in some applications to produce particular visual spacing effects. In HTML, only the following characters are defined as white space characters:

* ASCII space ( )
* ASCII tab (	)
* ASCII form feed ()
* Zero-width space (​)



It's not possible to put tabs in HTML, they're interpreted as regular spaces. However, if you put the text within [code] tags it's rendered as <pre>formatted with the tabs preserved:

Code:
no indent
one indent
two indents



Hope this helps,
