Convert tabs to spaces for formatting purposes. This tool is helpful if you have a tab-indented text or code in a file and you want it to take up less visible space horizontally. You can control the amount of spaces equivalent to a single tab.

Leading tabs only. When enabled, this tool will only convert tabs that are not preceeded by another string (see examples). When disabled, all tabs will be replaced with spaces regardless of placement.

[tab]Hello[tab]World!

[4 spaces]Hello[tab]World!

In the first example above, the tab between the word "Hello" and "World" is ignored because the tab is preceeded by a letter (o).

[space]Hello[space]World!

• In the bottom left corner, you can see the amount of tabs that have been replaced.
• You can use also use tab in the text box.
