Consistent indentation is a simple and effective way to improve the code’s readability. It reduces the differences that are committed to source
control systems, making code reviews easier.
This rule raises an issue when the indentation does not match the configured value. Only the first line of a badly indented section is
reported.
The rule behaves consistently when the indentation settings of the IDE use spaces instead of tabs. Using tabs can lead
to inconsistent indentation because the width of a tab can be configured differently in different environments.
What is the potential impact?
The readability is decreased. It becomes more tedious to review and modify the code.
