# AGENTS.md

## Formatting

- use tabs for indentation
- in tables, use leading line breaks for alignment:

  ```tex
  \begin{tabular}{ll}
  	foo & baz
  \\	bar & etc
  \end{tabular}
  ```

- Etc.

  demo.md:10:3 error MD010/no-hard-tabs Hard tabs [Column: 3]
  demo.md:11:5 error MD010/no-hard-tabs Hard tabs [Column: 5]

Here, the tex-code block itself is indented with spaces, but the code snippet itself contains tabs in agreement with the formatting instructions. MD010 should probably not apply to the content of code blocks themselves.

You can opt out for code blocks with the code_blocks parameter:

Oh my bad, I didn't realize that at all.
