Description
This is a follow-up of https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper/issues/139 to ask for a preference page to specify whether to use spaces or tabs for the XML editor (possibly by allowing to specify also how many spaces to insert for indentation).
As requested by @angelozerr in https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper/issues/139#issuecomment-1250143363 I opened this new issue.
Thanks in advance
