Full Version: Leading Blank Spaces in a Line

How can you indent lines without using the "indent" button? It also adds vertical spacing, which I don't want to do.

I've tried spaces, tabs, and even a hex 'A0' but every line is left justified to the edge of the window.

Here are several lines, each with the prepended characters described in the line:

One tab character
Five spaces
The "indent" button

Ten spaces
Two tab characters

These all look good in the edit window, but the leading spaces disappear in the preview.

I've searched all the old posts in this topic and can't find an answer.

Help !! (please?)

Seems like the indent button does what you're describing, right?

Thanks Drew & Trudes & John.

When I use the indent button I get extra vertical space inserted above and below the line I indent. It looks like John's example did this, too.

Trudes, on the other hand, did exactly what I want - tabbed over with no extra vertical spacing.

How did you do that, Trudes??

Oh wait!! I see it now! That was darned sneaky. biggrin.gif
. . . . . . Way sneaky!

Thanks!!!!
