This is also a good reason to avoid tabs in source code, at least those
intended to represent variable indentation. Web browsers have no standard
for how to represent a tab, and I suspect most use the old 8-column
teletype standard. If you use tabs in your source code to represent some
other indentation (say, 2, 3, or 4 columns) and you do sub-statement
alignment (like lining up parameters under the opening paren) then it's
going to look wrong in a web browser.
