I think what might be happening is that empty padding or margins or something is just sort of naturally getting added during the usage of the TW tabs macro. I'm pretty sure there'd be a way to remove that, the question is what the best way to do that would be. One way might be to write a new kind of tab macro, I guess called "tabsnogaps", by cloning the original tabs macro tiddler and then doing...something(?) to it to remove the unwanted spaces. Or at least make the spaces more obvious/accessible to adjust. So far, I've found the tabs macro at "$:/core/macros/tabs" and cloned it. But I still have no idea where the extra space is getting added in the code. Also, I'm a little concerned that the tabs macro might be using other macros or similar that I'd have to clone & change as well, but I'm still so new to this kind of code that I can't tell for sure. Or maybe I could define a style(?) exclusively limited to the new macro that could set the margins or padding or whatever to 0? Would that work?
