Dev experience: Tab spacing discrepancy issue

[machikoyasuda]

Some new files have 4 spaces. Our files are usually 2. This discrepancy does not get flagged or fixed by any linter or tool (pre-commit, Prettier, VS Code itself).

See: start--medicare.html as an example.

Try: Making a new html file and just start typing and tabbing. What does your editor automatically set the page as?

Tasks:

• Find all the 4-spaced files and convert them to 2.
• Figure out why this is happening.
• Set 2 spaces as default.

I don't think prettier is used for our HTML templates -- we use the monosans.djlint formatter.

But we didn't introduce that until a little while later... so maybe that is the source of the mixed spacing?

I wonder if djlint has settings for spacing?

ah that's it!

So we can decide whether to stick with the default (4), and mass re-format all the (2), or change the default to 2 and vice versa.
