Hi Timothy,

It seems to default to spaces everywhere else. If you export an actual
document through the ascii exporter instead of just a document header
you will get a mix of tabs and spaces. This is how it was brought to my
attention, I was distributing a file that was batch exported and someone
pointed out that the indentation was inconsistent.

If it is handled as an export preference or defaults to the global
indentation preference then that would be fine but I don't believe
either of those are the case.

Thanks for continuing to look,
Morgan
