Tabbing

Tabbing (inserting the tab character in place of spaces) is as normal on all Unix systems – a tab is converted space up to the next column multiple of 8. My editor converts strings of spaces to tabs automatically – this results in significant compression of the files. Thus, you can remove tabs by replacing them with spaces if you wish. Please don’t confuse tabbing (use of tab characters) with indenting (visual alignment of the code).
