Makefile alternative for those who don't want tab indenting all content under the opener

Is there a GNU make alternative if don't want to use tab indents in my make program (or make-like) program? For example, when I use make, I need to indent everything after the make opener, (% :). This is a recipe for some problems in some circumstances (for example, I work cross-platform and I use a Windows10 AutoHotkey mechanism that strips tabs from codes I paste into Linux terminals from different reasons and it doesn't pass over make hence I need a non tab including solution). The necessity to tab-indent everything under % : makes my work with make non fluent. This is the make I use to create new virtual host conf files. I execute it with make domain.tld.conf: % : printf '%s\n' \ '' \ 'DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/$@"' \ 'ServerName $@' \ '' \ 'Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch' \ 'Require all granted' \ '' \ 'ServerAlias www.$@' \ '' \ > "$@" a2ensite "$@" systemctl restart apache2.service Is there any alternative, maybe something that comes with Unix itself that provides similar functionality but without having to use tab indents in the pattern file itself?
