Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked follow-up issue and issue 139, including its referenced comment, to understand the requested XML editor preferences. Identify the existing XML editor preference handling and define completion as supporting spaces or tabs and, if feasible, a configurable indentation width in the Eclipse preferences page.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

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
