![]() Plus I learned a bit about CSS and HTML, against my better judgement I’ve got two solutions that work for my needs, my empty space character text expansion and simple style header. Especially when I really really REALLY have to force myself to ignore all possible distractions. I like where it is now and while I’ve investigated using Scrivener and iAWriter I don’t want to complicate my workflow and put anything between me and writing. ![]() I’ve read a lot on this forum from people pushing for full screen writing modes and full fledged editors in DT and DTTG and the pushback from others saying that’s not what it is designed for. Especially as it is repeatedly stated on this forum that iOS doesn’t support rich text editing natively (I’m probably getting the technical semantics of that wrong). ![]() I’m only just figuring out that writing in markdown works well for me on iOS and I can wean myself off of thinking that basic text editing like the MacOS Text Edit or BBEdit is the simplest way to go. I don’t know much about how CSS and HTML work and generally don’t want to bog my writing down with anything that stops… (orchestra swells then cuts to total silence)…THE FLOW. it also works in this forum text looks like a good solution too. This way I get a simple way to indent, it looks clean in either mode and it gets out of my way when I’ve got gold running from my fingertips into the keyboard. I’m doing a bulk of this kind of writing on an iPad and I don’t want to add too many apps or alt keyboards or extra code that might distract me. There’s a whole host of empty character types listed on that page that might work if you can wrangle Unicode. It’s not visible in edit or rendered view in a markdown document and it indents just fine. One of the pages I read sent me here and I was able to make an iOS text replacement of 6 characters of which is some kind of Unicode empty space character. I find it makes large blocks of text more readable and navigate-able. That is, indenting the first line only of a paragraph. I’ve also learned that the thing I was aiming for is an archaic form of layout, at least by web standards. Though it’s not clear what you mean by indenting: indent the whole paragraph or just the first line of each paragraph. I can t find a reference to Tab in the markdown cheat sheets that I was referencing. ![]() A “Tab” at the beginning changes the size and font of the paragraph but I don’t know why. At least in DTTG, two hard returns defines a paragraph, but adding spaces at the beginning of the line doesn’t show up in the rendered view. I find that indenting paragraphs makes large blocks of text easier to read and I can’t figure out how to indent in markdown on DTTG. I do have one question that seems so simple but I can not solve. I have looked at the Markdown cheat sheets and I need very little of the fancy stuff, maybe a heading or two and the TOC could probably come in handy. I do most of my writing on an iPad then sort it all out, edit and organize on a MacBookPro (and sometimes an iPhone) I don’t have to track citations or footnotes (yet!) and I am at the stage where I just want to dump in all the words, quickly into a document and sort it out later. Tl:dr How does one indent paragraphs in DTTG markdown?įor a number of reasons I have researched the various writing and outlining apps that work with DEVONThink and I have decided to do all my writing for the next stage completely in DT in markdown.
