For consistency with IE and Chrome, please say that CRLF, CR and LF each render one line break. Please say that runs of spaces are *not* collapsed. Please say that tabs move the next character to the next tab stop but at least by one space.

Unfortunately, it seems the browsers don&apos;t agree on the tab size. Chrome has the tab size of 4. IE has the tab size of 8. (Firefox would have the tab size of 3 if you could observe it!)</thetext>

    <thetext>Since IE is older, we should probably go with the tab size of 8.</thetext>

    <thetext>8 is also the default CSS uses (some browsers allow adjusting it) so that would make sense.</thetext>

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale: Added tab support.

Adding CR/CRLF support seems weird; this isn&apos;t a text format, and we don&apos;t do special processing for CR anywhere else. Isn&apos;t the CR processing in the HTML parser sufficient for this? If it&apos;s a real compat need then sure, but unless there&apos;s a real compat need IMHO we shouldn&apos;t special-case CR here.</thetext>
