That's good, no problem with that.

Oh wait, I thought you said you weren't trying to advocate spaces over tabs. Perhaps I misunderstood.

I am now in support of spaces as the Wiki standard.
Hopefully my vote made a difference. :wink:

(This isn't over... tabs will ultimately prevail!)

Curses, I came in late and only just saw this topic, and to add insult to injury, I can't vote D:

Tabs! :twisted:

Hi,

Spaces won. Now whoever uses tabs in the wiki would be tortured till death, :twisted:
