Hello,
I have found difficult to figure out how to make indent to use tabs.
I have found a nice description on a forum:
http://osdir.com/ml/gnu.utils/2007-05/msg00017.html
I have also made a modest patch, so feel free to do whatever with it,
but I would like to have information like this in the documentation.
Regards,
Matěj Týč

+In case that you would like the code to be indented using tabs an not spaces, make sure that you do the following
+...@itemize
+ @item Don't use the @option{-nut} option that bans the usage of tab
