- I differ from Dale on this: extra white space should be
- collapsed outside of PRE. A sentence that happens to be typed this
- way shouldn't be formatted differently than one that is spaced normally.
- The reason is that you then have to pay excruciating attention to these
- spaces.
-
- I do notice that there seems to be no way to get white space when you
- want it in xmosaic, so there needs to be some provision for that. But
- double spaces are not the way.
-
- Tabs are also another matter. Perhaps their effectiveness should be
- restricted to a tabbing environment. Some examples from the group of
- how people would like to use tabs outside of PRE would be helpful to
- this discussion.
