That's a design issue with tools which do not respect the user; considering as 
default him/her as stupid and helpless. Like most wiki-languages as well. (Like 
Unix's general philosophy, troll.) Like email readers which do not allow one 
setting TAB's width, so that one cannot separate semantics marks (tab) from 
presentation (indent width) and is forced to insert n spaces (no model/view 
possible in doc writing) instead --> thus ever reader has to do with my indent 
preferences.
