This is your occasional reminder:
Tabs are what should be used for indentation.
Why? Because spaces for indentation are:
- Harder for people using assistive technology
- Harder for people with reading comprehension issues who want more indentation.
The tab is *user customisable* to be any level of indentation per tab character. It is the semantically correct character.
Please; use tab characters in any public code. If you don’t like how “deep” they are; adjust your editor’s rendering.
