tab-size: preference buffer-specific variable

Default value: 8

This variable holds the number of columns from one tab stop to the next. Epsilon expands tab characters in the buffer to reach the next tab stop. By default, Epsilon also indents in units of the tab size. Set the soft-tab-size variable if you want independent settings for the width of a tab character and the amount to indent.
