Remarks

IndentedTextWriter extends a TextWriter by providing methods that insert a tab string and track the current indentation level. Text formatted with multiple indentation levels is useful for generated code, so this class is used by CodeDOM code generator implementations.

The tab string is the string that each indentation consists of. Typically the tab string contains white space.
