+# Disallow tabs in file (no-tabs)
+
+some style guides don't allow the use of tab characters anywhere. So they would want to disallow tab anywhere inside a file including comments.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+This rule looks for tabs inside the file. It can abe anywhere inside code or comments or anything.
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
+
+```js
+var a /t= 2;
+
+/**
+* /t/t its a test function
+*/
+function test(){}
+
+var x = 1; // /t test
+```
+
+Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
+
+```js
+var a = 2;
+
+/**
+* its a test function
+*/
+function test(){}
+
+var x = 1; // test
+```
+
+## When Not To Use It
+
+If you have established a standard where having tabs is fine.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+* **JSCS**: [disallowTabs](http://jscs.info/rule/disallowTabs)
