Tab indentation

[MrAlias]

How can I have weaver render my comments with tab indentation?

Currently it will only output with spaces as far as I can tell.

Am I missing something?

You should be able to add one or several tab indentations in the weaver config for the header, prefix, footer.

Would that mean that all comments are at a static indentation level then?

I guess I could have multiple comment format configurations (i.e. go_1tab, go_2tab, go_3tab). That just seems a bit egregious.

I've given this a try and the rendered file still expands tabs into spaces. Is there a way to preserve tabs?

@MrAlias Can you give us some example input + output?

I think I understand where tabs will NOT be generated.

here's some questions I have:

• Do you need tabs to be evaluated as an configurable number of space for "80 character" line length limit, or should I hardcode tab as taking up 4 characters for that purpose?
• Do you want tabs to interact with list-indentation in anyway? Today, e.g. go doc requires one space in front of numbered lists and two in front on unordered lists. Should tabs participate in these decisions, or are they only on the "left hand side" of a prefix?
• Do you want tab to somehow interact with the comment(indent=1) syntax?
