Default indent options
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Use tab character | If this check box is selected, tab characters are used:
Otherwise, spaces are used instead of tabs. |
| Smart tabs | If this check box is selected, PhpStorm inserts tabs for indentation and reformatting,
but fine alignment to a necessary column is done
only
via spaces. This is done in order to preserve visual
representation of the source code, when the
Tab Size
is changed.
If this check box is not selected, then spaces are used for alignment if necessary. This check box is available if the Use Tab Character check box is selected. |
| Tab size | In this text box, specify the number of spaces included in a tab. |
| Indent | In this text box, specify the number of spaces (or tabs if the Use Tab Character check box is selected) to be inserted for each indent level. |
