Tabs to Spaces

Convert tabs to spaces for formatting purposes. This tool is helpful if you have a tab-indented text or code in a file and you want it to take up less visible space horizontally. You can control the number of spaces equivalent to a single tab.

Leading tabs only. When enabled, this tool will only convert tabs that are not preceded by another string (see examples). When disabled, all tabs will be replaced with spaces regardless of placement.

[tab]Hello[tab]World!

[4 spaces]Hello[tab]World!

In the first example above, the tab between the word "Hello" and "World" is ignored because the tab is preceded by a letter (o).

[space]Hello[space]World!
