Definition of a Leader Character

• A solid, dashed, or dotted line that fills the
  space used by a tab character
• Examples
• Table of Contents
• Lines in a document

Note the lines line up evenly on the right edge,
which would not happen if the underscore key was
used to draw the lines instead of setting a tab
with a leader character.
