TO: Bash maintainer(s) https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Here-Documents
In section 3.6.6 of the Bash Manual, the phrase "are stripped" should be removed from the following paragraph: > If the redirection operator is ‘<<-’, the shell strips leading tab characters > are stripped from input lines and the line containing delimiter. This allows > here-documents within shell scripts to be indented in a natural fashion. A related question: In my Bash scripts, I indent using spaces instead of tabs but I'd still like to get this behavior. Why not strip leading whitespace? Thanks, Craig
