phpDocumentor tab delimiter

Pretty simple one: is it ok to use tabs inside phpDocumentor tags? Like:


/**
 * @param string @some_var        Description
 */
  • There's a tab between @some_var and Description

Didn't find anything against tabs (except list declaration), but I just want to make sure.

Solution

  • It appears at one point there was an issue with it using tabs but it has since been fixed almost a year ago. So yes, you are safe to use tabs as the regex used to match them will account for them.
