Tabs in the first line of HTML <pre> elements are replaced with the
wrong number of spaces.
(This text and the pretab.html example file available at
http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/tidy/)
Example unprocessed HTML:
----
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<HTML
><HEAD
><TITLE
>Sample with tabs in PRE elements</TITLE
><BODY
<PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
> struct driver {
KOBJ_CLASS_FIELDS;
void *priv; /* driver private data */
};</PRE
></BODY
></HTML
>
----
That is a tab and two spaces before "struct". Now process it with tidy:
% tidy -wrap 90 -raw -preserve -f /dev/null -asxml pretab.html

<title>Sample with tabs in PRE elements</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre class="PROGRAMLISTING">
struct driver {
KOBJ_CLASS_FIELDS;
void *priv; /* driver private data
*/
};
</pre>
</body>
</html>
----
Note that there are only *nine* spaces instead of ten before "struct",
and it no longer aligns with the closing bracket.
