Bug Description

Take a look at what Geany does for an example.

Basically, detect the type of indenting for each file and use that whenever the user presses the tab key. For new files, default to what the user has set.

Yup, auto-detecting coding style will be great. I'm sure I've requested that already, but I can't find the bug report.

Gah, I had linked the branch to the wrong ticket.

Some files I edit appear in the format:

1. Tabs for indentation
2. Spaces for

_TAB_ <meta name="title" _SPACES_ content="...
_TAB_ <meta name="description" _SPACES_ content="...

Will these be correctly detected by this branch, even if tabs do not appear first?

I assume is should only consider whitespace on the leading edge of a line.
