tabset -- substitues space characters for tabs
dbprint [-h[elp] \
[-l[iteral] \
[-t[ab]# [-t[ab]# ... [-t[ab]# \
[-w[eb] \
<STDIN >STDOUT
-h prints help message
-l operates as a literal typewriter, skipping to next available tab
-t uses the given number as a tab stop (default: every 8 characters)
-w ignore all HTML constructs
The text presented at STDIN is stripped of tab characters and spaces are inserted to provide the functionality. By default tabs are located every 8 characters. When one or more tabs are provided, those numbers are used.
By default a tab position which has been passed by is ignored in the output. Use of the -l flag causes the output to always use the next available flag.
Use of the -w flag causes the program not to count HTML constructs
of the form string, but only explicit character spaces are inserted,
not ;nbsp.
Note that there no spaces betwee the -t flag and its argument.
Supplying text with more tabs on a line than are explicitly provided for leads to uneven results.
