I'm interested in using BBedit for more of my writing chores and I hoped there was an easy way to mimic a basic word processing function. I want to indent the first line of each new paragraph.
BBEdit doesn't second-guess you much. It's a bit different from WPs in that respect. When you're writing some kind of code or mark-up language, you don't want it to start changing things on you unexpectedly. I don't know of any way to do what you want directly.
I use BBEdit to write LaTeX and the TeX engine takes care of the formatting. But that might be more than you're after.
You could write a script (record it) that replaced two returns with two returns and a tab character and run it periodically. You would also have to write one that reduced two tabs to one (because every time you run the first script, it will add another one.)
that's as simple as it gets without using grep. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request? Not sure the software's working correctly?
