It's ok if the Tidy programmers would say no to tabs > (I'd be very disappointed), but at least _explain_ it to me. Perhaps because then someone would ask "if we have 9 spaces, couldn't Tidy output a tab and a space ?" and they'd have to add yet another option and write the accompanying documentation. Piping the output of tidy into unexpand -t 1 | sed 's/^ /\t/' will turn each leading space into a tab. Works for me with GNU unexpand and GNU sed. The "\t" bit is not portable. If it doesn't work with your version of sed, try entering a literal tab instead (you may have to hit ^V first). -- André Majorel <URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> Do not use this account for regular correspondence.
