[Po4a-devel]Canonizing tabs

[Jordi Vilalta]

Hi,

today, while testing the Docbook module on new documents, I've seen that 
some docbook documents are indented with tabs. I've noticed that the 
canonizing function doesn't handle tabs, and such msgids look like this:

"line1\t\t\tline2\t\t\tline3..."

It's so annoying to translate. Can we also canonize tabs to spaces or 
would it break something?

This simple patch works for me:
