I'm fine with using tabs, but my tab width will be set to 8... be sure to obey line length limits with that in mind.

- giomasce 5y agoMath trivia: there are cases on which it is sensible, in sufficiently advanced mathematics, to define pi as 3 (or whatever other number). I don't use tabs, but if I'd say that the biggest advantage of using tabs is that everybody can configure their own editor to make them as large as they wish.
