The AsciiDoc files in the 'howto' folder are installed as documentation
and AsciiDoc files are meant to be read and printed as is. To quote the
AsciiDoc Home Page:
AsciiDoc files are designed to be viewed, edited and printed
directly or translated to other presentation formats using the
asciidoc(1) command.
Tabs have the property of a configurable width and can thereby skew the
layout of a page and distort the meaning. This is particularly a
problem when mixing lines with different indentation (space vs tab) in
code examples and ASCII art.
Prevent such a mix-up by prohibiting tab indentation entirely.
