You should probably point out that, regardless of the mode or other
settings, you can always insert an actual TAB character by first typing
C-q, as in:

  C-q TAB

You should probably also mention the "*-tab-always-indent" variables;
for example c-tab-always-indent.  I set this (and its brethren in
various other programming modes) to nil and that works much better for
me than the default setting of t.
