Should I use tab or spacebar to indent my coding?

Question

Hi! I'm new to coding and I am currently learning HTML. I was wondering if I should use tab or spacebar to indent my coding, I searched it up and it seemed to be a pretty big debate in the coding community and I'm still not sure what to use. Thanks!

Answer 1

Space should be preferred since it avoids conflicts if used in other editors or compilers.
Usually you can set your tab to print 4 spaces (or also 2 or 8), so there won't be a big difference in terms of comfort using this setting.

Answer 2

Doesn't matter. Different projects use different convensions. If you're doing your own do whatever you like.
