Thank you for the patch. It is certainly better than what we have
actually.

I think "exporting or tangling" is better than "exporting/tangling", but
I'm no native speaker.
Also, I'm not sure if "collapsed" is very clear. During export, when the
source block is evaluated, it is removed from the buffer and, maybe,
inserted back. At this point, if `org-src-preserve-indentation' is nil,
every line is indented back to the same column as it was before. Tabs
can appear in the process.
If `org-src-preserve-indentation' is nil, global indentation is lost,
but the local one is preserved. Since no indentation happens, tabs
cannot appear in the process.

In Texinfo, sentences have to end with two spaces. Also, the variable
doesn't need to be set to the symbol t, as any value but nil will
achieve the same result. So the sentence could start with something
like :

It should be Org, not org. And two spaces are required.
