Re: [Tiki-users] How to indent text

Hi Volker

Curious on https://doc.tiki.org/Wiki-Syntax#Indent it says that worked up to tiki 13...

The syntax still works, as

    ;:2nd example of indented text

Produces

    <dl><dt></dt><dd>2nd example of indented text</dd></dl>

aha, in bootstrap definition lists are only formatted like that if you add row and col classes to them

    https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.6/content/typography/#description-list-alignment

So one fairly safe solution would be to add these grid classes to the <dl><dt><dd> elements, which would restore that indentation, but do we use a 3/9 split, or 2/10? It seems a bit arbitrary... and would change the look of pages using them for the past 10 releases :(

There doesn't seem to be a modern html/css way of doing this properly and list-style-type:none with a single item doesn't seem great semantically to me - in the old days we used to use <blockquote> but that went in html5...

Maybe use non-breaking spaces? This seems to work ok

    ~hs~~hs~~hs~~hs~Example of indented text

Maybe?
