Question

I am following this book to learn django using notepad++, something interesting happens, when I type the function using notepad++ for the following script:

def cu         


        

Answer 1

In Notepad++ it is a checkbox here:

• Settings>Preferences>

Answer 2

Tell Notepad++ to show you all characters: go View > Show Symbol > Show All Characters. This will show tabs as → and spaces as ∙. Replace tabs with spaces where necessary to normalize the indentation.

Answer 3

Settings->Preferences->Language Menu/Tab Settings->"Replace by space"
