Indent a section of text?

2003-01-09 Thread Gavin Sinclair

ALT-L strips spaces?

Hi folks, I noticed something funny. As you can see from this post, I use the old-fashioned convention of sticking two spaces at the start of a sentence. However, if I were to reformat this paragraph with ALT-L, those spaces would be reduced to one each. Why is this so? Must I surrender my
