21.10.2 Replacing tabs with spaces in preformatted text

For HTML preformatted text, Mif2Go converts tabs to spaces. To specify how many spaces to use per tab inch:

[HTMLOptions]

; TabCharsPerInch = count of spaces to use in PRE for 1" of tabbing

;  the default, 16, makes ¼" tabs into 4 chars, and ½" tabs into 8

TabCharsPerInch = 16

The default works well with 9-pt Courier New, for displaying code sections. In FrameMaker, set tabs at the interval specified to get the same appearance. You can skip unused tab stops. See §21.6.2 Understanding how Mif2Go treats tabs in HTML/XML.
