Hello,

Andreas R=C3=B6hler <andreas.roehler@easy-emacs.de> writes:

It is indeed possible to propagate `indent-tabs-mode' value to the
original buffer's copy where export happens, but it will not be enough
to guaranty that indentation related TAB characters are preserved (e.g.,
if relative indentation falls below `tab-width' value although global
one was above).

The only way to make sure TAB will be preserved is to set
`org-src-preserve-indentation' to a non-nil value (or, locally, to use
"-i" switch).
