Gitea: Configure tab size when viewing a file

[MarkusAmshove]

Hi,

Is there an option to configure how many spaces a tab contains?

Our java files are indented with tabs and when I view them, every tab seems to be 8 spaces wide.
Normally I would expect 4 spaces for java, c# and similar languages

I think you can put a .editorconfig in your repo and some aspects like the editor will honour it, not sure about repo viewer.

Hello,

How can I change Gitea's global tab size from 8 to 4 ?

Thanks.

please reopen. (stalebot is bad project management)

does this mean that managing projects that use tabs is not supported on Gitea? it looks like .editorconfig is used when editing files, but ignored when viewing them.

workaround: add custom/templates/custom/header.tmpl:
css <style> .tab-size-8 { tab-size: 4 !important; } </style>
