Sublime text change the indentation according to the file extension

Question

I know how to change default indentation in the file: preferences of sublime text but i would like to know if it's possible to tell to sublimetext: when it's a.rb file you have to set 2 for tab size and when it's a.html you have 4 for tab size. Is it possible to make it automatic?

Answer 1

In your Ruby syntax settings $SUBLIME_PATH/Packages/User/Ruby.sublime-settings set tab_size = 4

{
  "tab_size": 4 // by the way it is 2 for Ruby by conventions
}

For HTML set tab_size in $SUBLIME_PATH/Packages/User/HTML.sublime-settings

{
  "tab_size": 2
}

OR you can open an HTML file and go to preferences > settings - syntax specific and sublime will open the settings file for HTML.
