           Summary: Help for templates is inconsistent with behaviour
                    regarding the tabindent filter

    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

"hg help templates" says of 'tabindent'


    tabindent     Any text. Returns the text, with every line except the first
                  starting with a tab character.

It should be made clear that the tab character is not added to the beginning of
blank lines.

I was told via IRC:
 tabindent calls indent whose help says:
     '''indent each non-empty line of text after first with prefix.'''
 so it looks intentional and should probably be mentioned in the help.
