In addition, the macros, symbols, and input text involved in the use of tabbing in the Open Watcom documents are being extracted and placed in a test file. This has revealed several issues, not all of them related to tabbing.

-	The current implementation treats the scope of a tab character as ending at the first space character. An instance where an alignment of center is combined with a space character following the tab character was found, but further investigation showed that it is only used if the documentation is produced for the IBM 370, which is no longer done and so need not be accomodated.	+	The scope of a tab character with left alignment has now been implemented to output all spaces between the tab character and the text even when concatentation is on, thus matching the behavior of wgml 4.0. For center and right alignments, it is still implemented as ending at the first space character. An instance where an alignment of center is combined with a space character following the tab character was found, but further investigation showed that it is only used if the documentation is produced for the IBM 370, which is no longer done and so need not be accomodated.

	Tabbing may also be of use internally. For example, when the entries to the Table of Contents or List of Figures, generated with the default :LAYOUT, are examined, lines such as these:		Tabbing may also be of use internally.
