Emacs defines certain column numbers to be @dfn{tab stops}. These
are used as stopping points by @key{TAB} when inserting whitespace in
Text mode and related modes (@pxref{Indentation}), and by commands
like @kbd{M-i} (@pxref{Indentation Commands}). By default, tab stops
are located every 8 columns. These positions are stored in the
variable @code{tab-stop-list}, whose value is a list of column numbers
in increasing order.

@code{tab-stop-list} controls these positions. The default value
is @code{nil}, which means a tab stop every 8 columns. The value
can also be a list of column numbers (in increasing order) at which to
place tab stops. Emacs extends the list forever by repeating the
difference between the last and next-to-last elements.

You can edit this buffer to specify different tab stops by placing
colons on the desired columns. The buffer uses Overwrite mode

*** `tab-stop-list' is now implicitly extended to infinity by repeating
the last step. Its default value is changed to nil, which means a tab
stop every `tab-width' columns.
