CONVERT TABS
Replaces tab characters with the appropriate number of spaces in a range,
box, or buffer.
This is useful if your text will be printed or displayed on devices with
tab stops different from your settings in EVE, but you want tables, lists,
and other tab-aligned text to appear the same as in editing.
Steps:
1. Optionally, select or find the text where you want
to convert tabs (see help on Ranges And Boxes).
2. Use CONVERT TABS.
Usage notes:
o Box editing operations (such as cutting or copying a box) convert tabs
in the box to spaces to keep the column alignment of the text. In some
cases, EVE converts tabs to the right of the box as well.
o If you used SET BOX SELECT, then CONVERT TABS uses the start and end of
a found range as diagonally opposite corners of a box.
o If you do not select or find text, CONVERT TABS works on the entire
current buffer. Also, if the cursor is on a tab character, CONVERT
TABS moves the cursor to the right. Otherwise, it does not move the
cursor.
