This rule is triggered by any lines that contain hard tab characters instead
|
|
of using spaces for indentation. To fix this, replace any hard tab characters
|
|
with spaces instead.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
<!-- markdownlint-disable no-hard-tabs -->
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Some text
|
|
|
|
* hard tab character used to indent the list item
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<!-- markdownlint-restore -->
|
|
|
|
Corrected example:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Some text
|
|
|
|
* Spaces used to indent the list item instead
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You have the option to exclude this rule for code blocks and spans. To do so,
|
|
set the `code_blocks` parameter to `false`. Code blocks and spans are included
|
|
by default since handling of tabs by Markdown tools can be inconsistent (e.g.,
|
|
using 4 vs. 8 spaces).
|
|
|
|
When code blocks are scanned (e.g., by default or if `code_blocks` is `true`),
|
|
the `ignore_code_languages` parameter can be set to a list of languages that
|
|
should be ignored (i.e., hard tabs will be allowed, though not required). This
|
|
makes it easier for documents to include code for languages that require hard
|
|
tabs.
|
|
|
|
By default, violations of this rule are fixed by replacing the tab with 1 space
|
|
character. To use a different number of spaces, set the `spaces_per_tab`
|
|
parameter to the desired value.
|
|
|
|
Rationale: Hard tabs are often rendered inconsistently by different editors and
|
|
can be harder to work with than spaces.
