Hi all,
I want to include the contents of a file which requires TABS between
fields in a #+begin_src ... #+end_src block.
When I use C-c ' to edit the block the TABS are all converted back to
spaces. I want to be able to tangle the file and preserve the TABS
which are required as input to some tool chain.
Is there some mode I can use to preserve the TABS?
For example:
#+begin_src fundamental :tangle testtabs.txt
These words
are separated
by tabs.
#+end_src
I need to be able to create the testtabs.txt file with the TAB
characters intact otherwise it fails as input to the tool chain (which I
have no control over).
Is there any way to do this?
For now I'm keeping the input in a separate file, but I would much
prefer to have it in a babel source block in my notes for future
reference.
Thanks,
Bernt

Try setting org-src-preserve-indentation to t. If you change the default
value of indent-tabs-mode to nil (as I do), then you might have problems
in any case: inserted tabs will be changed to spaces. But if you have it
left at the default t, then I think this works.
