How to use the Tab ↔ Spaces

Why this matters

Different editors use different indentation — some use real tab characters, others use spaces. This causes visual inconsistency and can break Python, YAML and other indentation-sensitive languages. Most style guides (Python PEP8, Prettier, ESLint) prefer spaces. Some prefer tabs for accessibility reasons (users can set tab width in their own editor).
