Cannot set html indent to tabs from within atom about atom-beautify HOT 8 CLOSED

For example.jsbeautifyrc:

{
  "html": {
    "indent_char": "    ", // Tab character here
    "indent_size": 1,
    "indent_with_tabs": true
  }
}

This is a problem with Atom Settings View. Using the Settings View there would be nothing I could with Atom Beautify to fix that. However...

Easy Solution

You could put a tab character in your .jsbeautify configuration file.
See https://github.com/Glavin001/atom-beautify#configuration for details.
Store the .jsbeautify config file in your User home directory (~/.jsbeautify) if you want it to be effectively global. Or better yet, put it in your project's directory.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Since there's no sane reason for using something other than tabs or spaces for indenting, would it be possible to have a boolean flag in the future? There seems to be one for the JavaScript settings already.

Also, what would my home directory be on Windows?

The options are defined by the underlying package, js-beautify. See the complete list of options here: https://github.com/beautify-web/js-beautify#options

  -t, --indent-with-tabs        Indent with tabs, overrides -s and -c

It appears that using indent-with-tabs will override your indentation size and indentation character, so effectively giving you what you want.

Also, what would my home directory be on Windows?

A quick Google search shows that the Home Directory for Windows is C://Users/YOURUSERNAME/. Give that a try.

Can't without opening it in a plain-text editor (eg Notepad), since Atom translates [tab] to indenting.

@Glavin001 Can you please elaborate why using "indent_with_tabs": true does not work?

@julmot : indent_with_tabs should work, and it overrides indentation size and indentation character when used with JS-Beautify.
