That might be not so easy since the tab stop thing is > not a per item option, AFAIK. I supposed one could describe this as a "variable tab stop," and I don't know about the underlying implementation. But actually what I'm asking for is to be able to line up *subsequent lines* of each list entry with the beginning of text of the first line of the entry. This is currently controlled by the Indent At setting, which is a fixed value. In addition to a fixed value, I would want to set Ident At to: under first line. So if I have Bullets and Numbering | Position | Followed by: Space, I would want each subsequent line of the entry lined up underneath the first character following the space. Perhaps this would be easier to understanding using Roman numeral numbering as an example. Right now, Indent At needs to be set to a fixed value. Let's say that I set Followed by to tab stop, and then set indent at to the same tab stop, or set followed by to space and then guess the right indent at to line it up for single character numbers, resulting in something like this: i. abcdef abcdef ii. abcdef abcdef iii. abcdef abcdef iv. abcdef abcdef v. abcdef abcdef All subsequent lines of each entry can only be lined up to the same value, the setting of Indent At. If my suggestion for Indent At would be accepted, then this would like this: i. abcdef abcdef ii. abcdef abcdef iii. abcdef abcdef iv. abcdef abcdef v. abcdef abcdef > What I could imagine is some option to automatic adjust the tab stop for all > items depending on the largest number. > | 1. abcdef > | abcdef > | 10. abcdef > | abcdef > | 100. abcdef > | abcdef > > Which, again, works out of the box up to level 99. This would be, to my mind, a second-best solution, but certainly better than what we have now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
