Tabbing in Template Literals

Are template literals sensitive to tabbing white-space, or are they only sensitive to space and line-break whitespace?

I just ran something of a test

I can't show you the code in here because you can't use tabs in the posting text area.

But from what I can tell, tabs in template literals are treated as (converted to) single spaces.

In fact, "tab space tab space tab" will also be treated (converted to) as a single space - even if you store it in a variable and use it that way.

(same for line-break whitespace, as well)

Try running some experiments here:

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
