Notepad is the default for *.txt on Windows. I can tell you from personal experience running a cross-platform open source project that there are Windows developers who use Visual whatever to open *.cpp and such but who let Notepad continue to open *.txt because it’s faster. For those people, I switched from tabs to spaces in that project's *.txt files. (And also from Unix line endings to CR+LF!) > or Microsoft Internet Explorer for that matter. :) I thought this thread was about how web browsers displayed tabs. Surely IE’s default is relevant here. > For Windows, I reckon it's going to be either Notepad++, Visual Studio, > Android Studio, Qt, Code Blocks, or or or… You’re mixing two unrelated things: what most programmers’ text editors do, and what most web browsers do. They needn’t do the same thing. If you need them to do the same thing, Fossil gives you a way to make them do that. > I'm sure it was 8 when punch cards were state of the art. I agree with you. And it’s still true in Edge 41, Chrome 62, and Firefox 57, all released in late 2017. > I tried. I failed. Put it in the body { } element. It works here. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
