Tabs

Tabs are used to organize the text in table-like layout. This would not be a real layout table, but will make the text (if it's short enough) to look table alike.

Basics

In order for tabs to work the text should be split tab character (#9)

This is how the text would look like if no tab separation is used:

  RichMemo1.Lines.Add('hello world'); 
  RichMemo1.Lines.Add('this sample');

If the words are split by Tabs, then the control tries to find the next proper tab offset in order:

  RichMemo1.Lines.Add('hello'#9'world'); 
  RichMemo1.Lines.Add('this'+#9+'sample');

Tab Offsets

The length of tab offsets can be controlled using GetParaTabs and SetParaTabs methods.
