A tab does not have spaces. It's a tab, one character. How it is displayed is the choice of the HTML spec / your browser.

Yes, I know. But I figured that the author was not so misguided as to use actual tabs. Turns out it is Github's CSS that is to blame.

That's GitHub's CSS. They could set `tab-size` to 4, but they just left it at the default of 8.

You can change it by appending ?ts=4 to the URL.
