Expand Up @@ -268,6 +268,16 @@ In the |labelformatting| :guilabel:`Formatting` tab, you can:

* Under :guilabel:`Spacing`, change the space between words and between
individual letters.
* With :guilabel:`Tab distance` you can adjust the replacement spacing
for :kbd:`Tab` characters in the label, in any supported unit.
This allows e.g. to properly separate or vertically align elements
of a layout legend text.

Pressing the |options| :sup:`Configure tab stops` button on the right,
you can add a list of tab positions, instead of a single distance.
This allows e.g. the creation of table-like multiline labels,
where texts are split over different "columns" and lined up nicely,
based on the :kbd:`Tab` characters.
* :guilabel:`Stretch` ratio: allows text to be horizontally stretched or
condensed by a factor. Handy for tweaking the widths of fonts to fit a bit
of extra text into labels.
