#107 Indent Selection 2

[Anonymous]

Version 1.0.24 has coding to insert 1, 4, and -1 spaces at the start of a line. As two (2) spaces at the beginning of a line to prevent rewrapping is something of a standard, I request that "Indent Selection 2" be added to the menu.

Note: uploaded zip also contains coding to add "Paste w newline" which was also requested separately.

I'm not familiar with such a standard, can you please provide some further info on it?

Regardlessly, anything that you don't want rewrapped should generally be put in no-rewrap markup (e.g. /.../), then it'll be indented by the rewrap routine. Can you clarify on why you want to do this manually?

Hi Hanne,

The usage I'm envisioning is for the text version file:

1) for PPV work where the user has NOT indented tabular sections; and

2) most of the time, I use /X X/ for ToC, LoI, and other tabular data and then use the Indent 2 to insert the spaces for the text version.

As for the 2 space minimum, that seems to be a de facto standard (most PPVers and WWers I worked with). The Post-Processing FAQ states for poetry "... indented from at least one to four character spaces to prevent rewrapping ...". So, the "written in stone" minimum IS one; but PPV/WWer-wise it APPEARS to be two!

This would be a trivial update (just repeat the code for adding 4 spaces and cut out two of the lines adding a space!). I just don't want to have to do that every time I install an update. I also think I am not the only user who would like that added.

Thanks, Tom C.
