Tab characters are converted to spaces, with a tab stop at every 8-th column.
In the following examples we can use peek to see the exact shape of the nets produced.
i1 : net "line 1\nline 2\nline 3\n" o1 = line 1 line 2 line 3 |
i2 : peek oo +------+ o2 = |line 1| |line 2| |line 3| | | +------+ |
i3 : net "" o3 = |
i4 : peek oo ++ o4 = || ++ |
i5 : net "\n" o5 = |
i6 : peek oo ++ o6 = || || ++ |
i7 : net "\n\n\ta" o7 = a |
i8 : peek oo +---------+ o8 = | | | | | a| +---------+ |
