Therefore, any line beginning with a whitespace would cause an error (including before a tab character), but additional whitespace throughout a line is fine. > > Or does this mean all additional whitespaces should be a cause for error? > > Thank you for clarifying!

I apologise for repeatedly asking, but I still need a more specific clarification regarding this case. The line 'Whitespace can only appear at the beginning of a line if it is a tab under a function definition' is said to be true but whitespace and tab are not the same, so it is a bit confusing to me. Assuming that line only means the tab character '\t', I am under the impression that any line beginning with whitespace would cause an error, please let me know if I am misunderstanding.

Tabs are a form of white space. More detail given here: [help2002]
