How do I indent?

[Moe Gibbs]

  Just a simple indent, for the love of football! Seriously, why is something so simple so hard to find? 

[Birthe C]

Take a look at http://skplugins.tiddlyspot.com/ lots of goodies to be found and also indent.

Out of curiosity what has football got to do with indent?

[Moe Gibbs]

  It's just an exclamation, like "OH MYLANTA!"

  I don't think that tiddly wiki does indents for actual paragraphs. It doesn't do them at all within hard line breaks. Bizarre. It will indent one line, however. Shoving the entire paragraph to the right is not an indent.

Oh, thanks, regardless.

To indent, use CSS "margin-left" or "padding-left", like this:

@@margin-left:1em;
This is some text<br>
that appears on several lines<br>
so we can demonstrate indentation<br>
@@

or

@@padding-left:1em;
This is some text<br>
that appears on several lines<br>
so we can demonstrate indentation<br>
@@

However, the TW "@@" syntax does not "nest.

Thus, if you want to indent content within an indent,

you can use HTML syntax instead of "@@", like this:

<div style="margin-left:1em;">
This is some text<br>
that appears on several lines<br>
so we can demonstrate indentation<br>
<div style="margin-left:1em;">
This is some MORE text<br>
that appears on several lines<br>
so we can demonstrate multi-level indentation<br>
</div>
</div>

enjoy,

Thanks, but I don't see any indentation there. I take it there's not a more practical method? Doing that over and over again for each paragraph is simply not reasonable.

Again, I appreciate the effort, either way. Perhaps I'm not expressing myself clearly enough.

The following is an example of what I mean by a paragraph/indentation. 

     The beginning of this paragraph is indented. Standard paragraph indentation is about five spaces or one-quarter to one-half of an inch, depending on which style guide you follow. In online writing, if your software doesn't allow indentation, insert a line space to indicate a new paragraph.

Thanks, again.

I agree we ought have some simple wikitext for this.

You can use

&emsp;

which will create a space four space characters wide. E.g use it like so:

&emsp;Indented as intended.

<:-)

[Moe Gibbs]

Thank you. That's more like it. Still a bit cumbersome, but workable. Thanks, again.

G'day, 

Based on Matt's suggestion (Thanks, Matt!), and because I tend to easily find cryptic (well, cryptic to me) annoying, I'd do something like in the screenshot below.  (Now that I think of it, I'd call my transcluded "Indent" Tiddler "b4"  (b meaning blank, 4 meaning 4 blanks.)

Cheers !

Indeed.  There is a difference between "paragraph indentation" and "block indentation".  In your OP, you said "a simple indent", so it was not clear which kind of indentation you meant.  My solution is for "block indentation".

P.S.  There's also a difference between "American Football" (Football), "Australian Football" (Rugby), and "Football" everywhere else (which is called "Soccer" in the US).  :)

[Moe Gibbs]

Oh, for the love of hockey.

j/k, 

Thanks again, Alcon.

Please excuse me while I go completely off track here.

"OH MYLANTA!", that's something a couple of clients would often say, and I find myself now reminiscing about some good old times.

I also rather like "For the love o' Pete!"  (The "o'" pronounced like the "o" in "love".)  I'm not sure who Pete is ...

[Mark S.]

You'll find, I think, that other mark-up languages also lack simple indenting. Indenting goes beyond the original intent of mark-up languages. But I digress.

This is a variation of Eric's solution, using the text-indent propery instead. Now every paragraph will start with an indent.

@@text-indent:2em;

This is some text

that appears on several lines

so we can demonstrate indentation

how things can be wrapped around and then

Is that *Ice* Hockey or *Field* Hockey?  :)

Eric,

You have almost got it. Australia Shares Rugby internationally with quite a few countries, Rugby Union, internally however we have two other "codes" AFL (Which some call aerial ping pong)  and rugby league NRL, not to mention Soccer. American Football is a total mystery to me.

All four codes are team sports. Australia is home to four professional football codes: Australian Football League (AFL), Australian Rugby Union (ARU), National Rugby League (NRL), and Football Federation Australia (FFA). AFL is the national competition of Australian Rules football and was formed in 1897 in Victoria. 

Yes, football was over used, so yes Soccer is the "no hands allowed" (Except for Goalie)  football.

All this is from someone who's youth in Papua New Guinea (Rugby) and New Zealand (Soccer) means I do not follow Australian football much. Actually team sports on the whole.

Regards

Tony

[TW Tones]

Moe,

Bullets support indent as does blockquotes.

Do look at using codemirror, it provides indenting/tabs, but I have not tried the first line only indent (Not a style I like). Recently Saq Made indenting for bullets automatic with the tab, and I have often used the combination of ";" and ":" especially one or more ":" to indent.

You could also use css to define a class, that has first line indent, and you can build an Editor Toolbar button for it.

Regards

Tony

 a quick way to indent in the in the text can be done with:

: indented text

or

:: indented text

I have modified sk's Indent plugin to use this. you can also just use the plugin as is. I have attached my mod
