RE: Changing tab width in graphical tool code listing

As different people have different personal preferences for tab settings, we 
ban the use of TABs in source files. All our editors (whether on UNIX or 
Windows) are set up for an indent (normally 4) of whatever personal preference 
that user has: the editors then insert the right number of spaces for it. This 
way, anyone can edit any given source file and the result does not end up 
higgledy piggledy. For example, I have the following settings in my .exrc:

set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
set smarttab

There are similar settings for other editors that are in use (eg emacs).

Obviously, this takes up a little more space in the source files but we don't 
care: the benefits hugely outweighs the cost.
