    Description

      It looks like for conversion to pdf, the converter is making the tabs in <programlisting> blocks come out as only a single character. The tabs look better in the html output.

      There is probably some XSL setting we can use to make tabs become 8 spaces (or the equivalent spacing) in the pdf conversion.

          I suggest to substitute <tabs> with <spaces> during "make pdf".
          However, I think that 3 spaces instead of 8 is better.

          Old Makefile:
          $(TGT_BASE).pdf: $(TGT_BASE).fo
          fop $< $@

          New Makefile:
          $(TGT_BASE).pdf: $(TGT_BASE).fo
          sed -e 's;<tab char>;<spaces>;g' $< | fop - $@

          An example is section 35.2.5 in the pdf, as of today.

          For example, the code on pg 308 of the pdf version (as of today).
