Your converted text will appear here after conversion.
Use 1 to 16 spaces per tab.
Leading indentation is safest. All consecutive spaces also converts complete groups inside text.
Only complete groups of spaces are converted. Existing tabs, unmatched spaces, line endings, Unicode and all other characters remain unchanged.
