Re: [Zim-wiki] Verbatim and Indentation
Ok thank you Johannes. I did not realize what it was I was doing wrong. I guess the inconsistencies in the use of verbatim I was having had to do with the surrounding empty lines around the block of verbatim text. Reading that link you gave me more carefully has helped me understand what it was I was doing wrong. About the use of other formatting inside verbatim text, I was also not aware this had been previously discussed and discarded. I am sure there is a very good reason! I am not an experienced Wiki author myself. Just looking for ways to make my Howtos easier to understand for the casual skimmer/reader. I do definately advocate the implementation of a second form of verbatim styling though. I would very much love a way to seperate Terminal Commands, from File Contents as this comes up constantly. Currently it can look pretty run together when both are included in my documents(Which is most of them. Thanks for your time and advice.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Verbatim and Indentation
Hi, there is a discussion about verbatim formatting on the wiki: http://www.zim-wiki.org/wiki/doku.php?id=verbatim_syntax&DokuWiki=9232f0db9df9849d5874dc4a23b3a8d9 and Fabian is working on it. There have also been discussions about adding a code style that acts a bit different than verbatim, you can find this in the mailing list archives, but I cannot remember the results of the discussion and I am not sure if someone is actively working on implementing this. It is intentional that zim only allows text to have one style, but I cannot remember the reason.

[Zim-wiki] Verbatim and Indentation
I am noticing some difficulty in achieving some consistency when using using verbatim formatting. At times it will indent the block of text when I format it as verbatim, while other times it leaves the text un-indented. There are times I would like this text to be indented and other times I would prefer it not to be. Is there something that can be done to force the indenting issue one way or the other? A partially related issue, is that I primarily use Zim for the creation of Howto guides or Tutorials. Typically I use verbatim to display code examples. However, equally common I require the inclusion of a block of text representing the contents of a configuration file. I also use verbatim for this. However this can make it difficult to differentiate between "commands to be issued on the command line" and "text to expect or edit inside a file". I feel that a very simple way to get around this issue, and some others.. would be to allow some basic formatting of verbatim text. Specifically if sections of verbatim text could be made bold, that would really assist me in my document creation. Is there any reason why this can not be accomplished? ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
