I am trying to copy and paste a few lines of a file from within a UNIX environment into a webpage. I want to preserve the original formatting with disrupting the tabs. However, when I select a block of text and copy and paste it into a webpage, all of the tabs have been converted to various length runs of spaces.
Can someone please tell me what I can do to preserve the original tabs? It needs to be as simple as possible so that newbie users can do the same!
Thanks
Based on your comment that the text that you're copying is missing the tabs, I suspect that the ptty you're using has converted them for you. I suspect if you run "stty tabs", you may get the behavior you're looking for (by disabling tab expansion in the ptty).
