# To Spaces

Converts all tabs in a string to a given number of spaces, `4` by default. This is a boring modifier to output examples of. Here's just a few examples on how the syntax looks.

::tabs

::tab antlers
```antlers
{{ string | to_spaces }}
{{ string | to_spaces(2) }}
```
::tab blade
```blade
{{ Statamic::modify($string)->toSpaces() }}
{{ Statamic::modify($string)->toSpaces(2) }}
```
