This is a module for the Textadept editor that implements Elastic Tabstops, a mechanism to align text invented by Nick Gravgaard. With Elastic Tabstops, tabstops are positioned automatically to fit the text between them and to align them with tabstops on adjacent lines. This means only a single tab has to be inserted between columns, rather than inserting manually the required number of tabs or spaces.
