  Maintaining Maximum Line Length When Using Tabs Instead of Spaces? Aahan Krish <krish@aahan.me> - 2014-12-08 02:15 +0000

#82092 — Maintaining Maximum Line Length When Using Tabs Instead of Spaces?

My understanding from talking to different people is that many do use
tabs (instead of spaces) for indentation in their code.

My question is to them (because I want to use tabs too) is: how do you
maintain a line-length of 79 characters?

E.g. scenario: The tab setting in your editor could be 2 or 4, and in
other developer's browser it could be 8. The code will be longer than
79 chars in the latter's editor.

I want to know if it's at all possible or if you use some simple and
realistic (practical) hacks.

*PS: Please avoid, "That's why you should use spaces," type of
comments. I would like to avoid flame wars.*

TY,
Aahan
