There's no such thing as "Tab format". Tabs are just ascii text.

- djtriptych 3mo agolol markdown and html are also both ascii/unicode and by themselves disprove your point.
- TylerE 3mo agoUm, how exactly does that even tangentially relate to my point?
- djtriptych 3mo agoall textual representations of data are "formats" and one being easier to edit is a totally valid use case. like 'x57675' instead of a full tab. or # title instead of <h1>title</h1>
- Affric 3mo agoI had people who had been writing Tabs on paper for a very long time. I would wager that ascii is just a representation
