    How do I display a tab character in QML TextArea with formatted text?
    I tried multiple ways but none works:

    • use html 	 (no tab displayed)
    • use \t (no tab displayed)
    • <pre>\t</pre> (this one displays the tab but there's always a trailing newline after that, don't know for what reason)

    Please don't tell me to use   instead, it's different from tabs and it's important for me.
    I don't believe QML cannot accomplish this simple task.
    Any help?
