<br />

*** ** * ** ***

The default implementation of TabStopSpan that allows setting the offset of the tab stop from the leading margin of the first line of text.

Let's consider that we have the following text:*"\\tParagraph text beginning with tab."*and we want to move the tab stop with 100px. This can be achieved like this:  

```
 SpannableString string = new SpannableString("\tParagraph text beginning with tab.");
 string.setSpan(new TabStopSpan.Standard(100), 0, string.length(),
 Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
```
