This really depends on how you use tabs. Some people use tabs a lot to acheive intented paragraphs etc, which I think is an incorrect way of using it. But since tabs normally can be left justified, centered or right justified I think a good approach would be to see them (at least left and right justified) as some kind of temporary margin. > Currently my ideas go to supporting tabs in justified text by > restricting justification to the part after the last tab stop (does > anyone want justification between tabs?). For a justified paragraph, I think yes. I'll try to who an example (use proportional font to read this:-). Heading1 Heading2 Heading3 Text number 1 Text two And text number 3 I have made the adjustment I mean for "Text number 1". If someone does not want such adjustment the should set the paragraph to left justified. > I dont plan to support tabs in centered text. I just tested how MS Word handles it. It seems as if Word does NOT justify a paragraph if there are tabs within it. Result is the same as left justified. However centered and right justified works with tabs (although I only tested left aligned tabs). But the strange thing is that when I right justify the paragraph it looks as if the tabs are converted to right justified tabs... Very strange behaviour.... So this is a VERY good question. /Peter
