    hi!
    when indenting lines with activated wrapping, the first line of a paragraph is indented, but not the following (the wrapped) ones. is it possible to get the whole paragraph being indented?
    there's a similar thread, but no reply: http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3666003
    can anybody help me?
    greetings

      would be a very nice feature anyway!!

      i'm looking for a small editor that i can take with me and run on every shitty computer i have to use, to create a latex dokument.
      at home i'm using TeXnicCenter which is great, but has to be installed in order to work properly.
      so on the road, i need a clean presentation of my written text, otherwise i will lose track.
      the "ReWrap text to (Clipboard or 72) width" tool changes the txt file and if i have to add something in that paragraph, i would have to unwrap and rewrap the hole thing again...
      (openoffice doesn't do the job either... and i'm using tex, because i don't want a word processor. ;) )

      thanx for the reply anyway. at least now we know for sure, that there is no such feature. :)

      greetz,

      (sorry about the other posting (http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4332337)... either i'm blind, or i used some crazy keywords. ;) )

      I don't know how to do this, but I would like it! Have been frustrated by this in the past.

      It's doing what it is supposed to do.  The line-wrap feature is displaying the whole _single_ line in a form for easy viewing.  The indentation is on the _single_ line.

      If you want, you can make it multiple lines with one of the built-in TextFX tools (thanks, Chris Severance!), "TextFX > TextFX Edit > ReWrap text to (Clipboard or 72) width".

      If you want to do that kind of word processing without reflowing the lines with physical newlines, consider a word processor.  A decent open source version can be found at <shameless plug> http://www.openoffice.org/ </shameless plug> and it can do what you want.  --Joel
