FYI: the editor tool seems to have trouble handling tabs as text. Not sure if anyone was aware, but there you go. My compilation failed till i took all the tabs out.

Hi there,


I just tried to put a tab into the editor, and the only way it let me do
it was if I pasted it in from another file. Was that how you entered a
tab, or is there some other way I'm not thinking of?


We didn't anticipate that tabs would be used in data files, so currently
we don't allow them. I'll talk to Rob about this and see if this can be
changed, or if we can otherwise prevent this error.

I'd love to have tabs - when you're entering a table for example. (the Leadership feat comes to mind as an example of a table that ought to be entered). There's some combination of ctrl, alt, shift, and tab that can let you put in a tab (I figured it out once, but have forgotten). The tab produces an error in compilation, as anivair mentioned.

Support for tabs is incredibly messy in stuff like description text. I'm not going to go into details, but Colen and I have discussed this and come to the conclusion that it's not something that will work well in the end. If you want to indent information, you can insert horizontal adjustments via embedded text.

We're going to convert tabs to spaces in an upcoming releease so that you won't get errors any longer. However, you won't be able to use actual tabs and tabstops.
