Convert 2 space indentation tabs into 4 in Sublime Text 2 or 3
Raw
convert-2-to-4-spaces-sublime-text.md

Here's a neat trick in Sublime Text 2 or 3 to convert your indentation spacing in a document.

TL;DR:

Converting from 2 spaces to 4 spaces:

Ensure tab width is set to 2. Convert your 2-space indentation to tabs, switch to tab width 4, and then convert the indentation back to spaces.

The detailed description:

Go to:

View -> Indentation

It should read:

Indent using spaces [x] Tab width: 2 Select:

Convert Indentation to Tabs Then Select:

Tab width: 4 Convert Indentation to Spaces Done.
