How can I change the default tab size in highlighted code in Jekyll 3.0?

Question

If I did:

{% highlight C %}
    .... code
{% endhighlight %}

For any tab I use between the highlighted C, I'd like the tab size to be 2 rather than 4. Doing {% highlight C tabsize=2 %} doesn't seem to work in Jekyll 3.

The answers I have seen on SO seem to work for older versions, but not recent versions.

By "older" you appear to mean the pygments code formatter and it's option, that is not around in the now default „rouge“ highlighter. – Rosemare

I don't believe it's possible from Jekyll itself, but you can accomplish this with CSS using the tab-size attribute:

pre {
    tab-size: 2;
}

Strangely, it's said to not work on IE... (can't verify right now, but also confirmed on SO) – Rosemare
