WSIndent


This page is testing a capability to use whitespace to form paragraphs within lists and other indented constructs.

Following any bulleted or numbered list item, using whitespace to indent text to the same column as the first character of the item causes the text to remain at that level.

See also WSIndent2 for another page that allows selected block markups to also be indented inside of lists.

Vote for/against this feature at PITS:00562 (it's a CoreCandidate).

Example:

# This is a list item.
# This is another list item.

  Because these lines start in 
  the same column as the list item above, 
  they're treated as continuations
  of that item.

### %alpha% Here's a third-level list
### Another third-level list item

    This text is part of the third-level list.

### One last third-level list item.

  Back to first level text.

# And another first-level item.

  1. This is a list item.

Text that starts in any column other than the ones corresponding to the current lists is automatically treated as preformatted text. Of course, if someone needs a preformatted text section where the first line begins at the same column as a list item before it, it can always be forced using the [@...@] markup, or by moving the list item to a slightly different column.
