What is missing?

reasons for this:

• because we can
• because the spaces look ugly
• because it annoyed me one time too much

this will break backwards compatibility, but the migration is as easy as replacing "\s\s" with "\t" in the entire project

there is no reason for otui to have double spaces, in fact only two functions need adjustments for this to work, namely: otmlEmitter::emitNode and otmlparser::getLineDepth

Code of Conduct

I disagree with you. Double spaces have a few benefits with some editors. Spaces always render the same width, ensuring code looks identical regardless of the editor, terminal, or IDE settings. Many popular programming languages and style guides prefer spaces. There is also other advantages on git diff tools etc.

I also would go for the opposity direction: creeate a github action for linting both lua, c++ and ot* files to guarantee the same styling throughout the entire project.

Also we could create a linter to format ot* files to avoid other problems and even vscode plugin for linting, but keeping the spaces.

I agree with you and would keep the TFS and canary standard
