Tabs at a multiple of 8 columns is a very old standard, probably going back to
the days of teletypes. The default in CSS is set to this value because it is
merely reflecting this ancient standard.
Try this:
$ echo -e "\tHi" | cat
It’s indented 8 spaces, isn’t it? Are you now going to go try and get your
terminal emulator to change as well? Good luck!
Do it on a Linux or BSD box’s console, and you’ll get the same behavior. Are
you going to beard the kernel hackers in their seat of power? May the Force be
with you; you’ll need it to ward off the returning projectiles.
If you want to say tabs are always 4 characters in your project, feel free to
change your local skin, but Fossil is right to leave this default alone.
