I have a poem I want to post that has lines that are indented--i.e. one line will end and I want the next to begin just below the end of the previous line. I don't see any obvious way to do this through the Blogger interface, and I don't know enough about HTML to figure out how to do it manually. Any suggestions?
(Honestly, this problem has frustrated me ever since I started blogging; I've just never bothered to figure out a solution.)
Hi Tim,
ReplyDeleteThe only way I know how to do this is to use the non-breaking space code, which is:
& n b s p ;
but run together. If you put in about five of those, with a space between each, that should give you about the length of a tab setting. Good luck!
Tim,
ReplyDeleteYou can use the PRE tag also. Whatever is between the tags (e.g. (pre) (/pre) )will maintain the formatting from a word document, for reasons not entirely clear to me.
us low-tech types can just run a dotted line of periods to indicate the indentation (ya gotta have the indentation)
ReplyDeleteTwo simple descriptions of the PRE tag:

Success! See above. Thanks for the pointers.
