Digging further into this, it turns out that tabs make it to the
browser. They're rendered incorrect since changeset 7392:03b60f2f90bf
which changes to <div/> from <table/>. Now the line number is part of
the content, too, which is used for offset computation.

It's probably overkill to add an option for it, but I have projects that
4 and others that 8 spaces for tabs.
