Re: Hanging indents in LC fields?

Thanks Devin – the negative first indent works nicely on normal text! Unfortunately I have an added complication in that I’m working with list style lines as well and list behavior seems to override some of the other indenting stuff. What I’m really trying to do is replace the ‘disc’ character

You can either set the left margin of the field to some large value like 20, or I believe there is a leftIndent property that you can set for a paragraph. Then set the first indent property of the paragraph to a negative number. Devin Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 20, 2017, at 5:15 PM, Terry

Hanging indents in LC fields?

Has anyone used livecode’s text formatting commands to create paragraphs with hanging indents (all lines but the first indented)? If so, any clues on how to do it? Best regards, Terry... ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com
