Repeated tabs

Plugin rule colour. Read the rule name as well as the dot.

Avellio notices: Repeated tab characters appear in the inspected text.

Example to inspect: Name⇥⇥Value

Possible editorial outcome: A deliberate tab stop or table structure, where appropriate

Why review it: Repeated tabs can be fragile substitutes for an explicit alignment system.

When to keep or investigate: Imported structured text and deliberate tabular conventions can legitimately contain repeated tabs.

Your next step: Inspect tab stops and content structure. Change the alignment method deliberately rather than deleting all tab characters.

Verify: inspect the edited text again with the intended scope and policy. Check meaning and nearby composition; a review status alone does not prove a correction.

In the plugin — Review in context: Review tab stops or table structure instead of repeated tabs. This recommendation does not edit text; verify context, make a deliberate change in InDesign if appropriate, then inspect again.
