Indentation

[Guest Overtaker]

I tried several times to indent "That the citizens of this State have the right..." in this post but every time I previewed the post, posted it, or tried to edit it, the indentation was removed.

Are you using a mobile browser? I've had the same problem when I tried to post with my iPhone. No indentation or paragraph separation. I go back to the PC and it's ok.

Tab or space bar won't do indents. Didn't on vBulletin either, default. You'll notice you can't do more than one space between characters either, defaults to HTML convention in that regard.

However, there ARE "increase/decrease indent" icons up in the editor menu which work.

I used the "increase/decrease indent" buttons and it didn't work. It worked on the Tennessean quote, but it wouldn't work on the constitution quote.

Sometimes when you paste stuff, it retains formatting codes that can't be overridden, which may be the case with post to which you refer.

That's where the "paste as plain text" icon comes in handy.

edit: yep, if you use "toggle editing mode" to see the codes, that statement you couldn't indent shows a "

" code at beginning and end of sentence.

Thanks for the help OhShoot. I thought that might be it when I was writing it up so I deleted the entire quote and typed it out by hand, but I must have done it in a way that didn't remove the left code.

Yeah, sometimes you have to toggle editing mode and edit it out there.

If you past in an image link for example, then use edit to add the "" tags it generally doesn't work either, because there's still a URL tag hidden in there, just stays as a link but not an image.
