# no-tabs
This rule checks for the tab character. The `\t` tab character can result in
unexpected display or formatting issues. You should always use spaces instead of
tabs.
!!! note
This rule does not trigger alerts for tab characters in the ``ansible.builtin.lineinfile`` module.
## Problematic Code
```yaml
---
- name: Example playbook
hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Do not trigger the rule
ansible.builtin.lineinfile:
path: some.txt
regexp: '^\t$'
line: 'string with \t inside'
- name: Trigger the rule with a debug message
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "Using the \t character can cause formatting issues." # <- Includes the tab character.
```
## Correct Code
```yaml
---
- name: Example playbook
hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Do not trigger the no-tabs rule
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "Using space characters avoids formatting issues."
```
