Tabbing in documents

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I copied over a document to LaTeX-Lab to see how it compiled. I then
attempted to change the formating of the document source by changing some
tabs. I could not tab more than once. Any subsequent tabs did not do anything.

I would expect to witness iterative tab stops. One after the other after
the other, et cetera.

My system version information is as follows:
LaTeX-Lab v2.0 
Firefox v3.5.8
Linux Ubuntu v9.10

I will check Slackware v13.0 x86.64 when I get home. I am at class right
now and using my laptop.

It appears to be an issue with the tab hierarchy. Suppose one were to have a 
branched
formating similar to what one would use in C++. When I attempt to invoke an 
indent by
pressing tab, I notice the line imitates the indent formating of the line 
prior. The
only exception to this is the line under \begin{document}.

I believe the tab behavior is configurable in CodeMirror (the text editor used 
in
LaTeX Lab). It's likely that CodeMirror is using the tabbing behavior for a
programming language.

CodeMirror has a "tabMode" config option that lets you specify what happens on 
tab. Setting it to "spaces" or "shift" should give the desired behavior.
See http://codemirror.net/manual.html

Tabbing doesn't work at all for me. I have to enter spaces manually to indent 
the text in the source file. It'd be great if tabbing would work.

Thanks very much for latexlab, guys! I love it!
