      Comments in between <pre> tags are not indented properly because the doclet
      does not know how many spaces to replaces tabs with. We already have an
      *undocumented* option -linksourcetab to specify the number of spaces for
      each tab in source files that works with the -linksource option.
      These pages are entirely in the <pre> tags. We should make the -linksourcetab
      option more general (and rename it to -sourcetab) so that it can be used in other ways.

      Also, if a developer uses tab characters to align columns
      similar to a table, these should also be converted to spaces.
      This implies converting tabs globally throughout the comment.
