Code example for autoformatter changing str template internals

In some cases, where TAB and 4xSPACE formatting is mixed, autoformatter is changing relative indentation of elements in string template

Test A
Assuming you have string template with 3 lines inside.
First line is not indented (not tabs/spaces before) => it starts at the beginning of the line.
Second line is indented by one tab in relation to first line.
Third Line is indented by 4 spaces to first line.
When you autoformat all three lines have the same indentation.


Test B
Assuming you have string template with 3 lines inside.
First line is indented by default number of tabs in relation to string template declaration.
Second line is indented by one tab in relation to first line.
Third Line is indented by 4 spaces to first line.
When you autoformat third line will have first space replaced by TAB.

So, in case B autoformatter changes [SPACE,SPACE,SPACE,SPACE] to [TAB,SPACE,SPACE,SPACE]. The workaround I had to use was formatting like in case A, which just looks terrible.

I am attaching code example, it might be more informative than my description.
