Tab alignment not preserved when other text is on the same line

[AnyOldName3]

I've got an RTF file with a section resembling this (---> represents a \tab character):

List name:->list entry
--->--->--->list entry
--->--->--->list entry

The HTML produced has a <p> tag with text-indent set on the later list entries, but not on the first one as it shares a line with some other text. This means the first entry isn't aligned with its siblings.

Here's a comparison between the RTF in MS Word and the HTML in Chrome:

Word (¶ off):

I can confirm that this issue is still present and, in my opinion, a fundamental flaw since tabbing on a line that already contains text is a common use case. Is there any insight into when this might be looked at or what would be needed to get a fix on this?

The reason that this isn't implemented yet is because I have yet to come up a way to accomplish this with valid HTML and CSS since tab stops are not a thing in CSS. While there might be a creative way to mock the behavior of left-aligned tab stops, there is not a good way to handle center aligned or right aligned tab stops. Things get more complicated when text wraps to the next line.
