NAME

tabset -- substitues space characters for tabs

USAGE

     dbprint [-h[elp] \ 
             [-l[iteral] \
             [-t[ab]# [-t[ab]# ... [-t[ab]# \
             [-w[eb] \
             <STDIN >STDOUT

FLAGS

        -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

DESCRIPTION

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.

BUGS

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.
