Hi List: Was hoping someone here might have some uncanny insight into how to solve a text formatting dilemma...
Basic problem: I need to create two levels on indenting in a block of text, but the text needs to always be directly editable and may span multiple lines. About a month or so back I mentioned an app I was working on that was sort of a poor man's PowerPoint, and was trying to mimic the bullet formatting one can apply to text. I've been asked to implement two levels bulleting/indenting, something like the following (hope it comes across): Main Bullet Item 1 that spans multiple lines Main Bullet Item 2 - Secondary Bullet 1 - Secondary Bullet 2 which spans multiple lines - Secondary Bullet 3 Main Bullet Item 3 I can accomplish the first level bullet/indenting using a combination of margins and firstIndent, but I can't figure out a way to handle second level. To date I've been using HTMLtext and non-breaking spaces to pad the secondary level lines, but arbitrarily adding spaces to live editable text is messy, and I can't find a way to align a padded+wrapped line with the line above it. It occurred to me maybe there's some non-typeable, non-selectable character I could use for padding, but I only know of formFeed/lineFeed characters which wouldn't help here. And the thing that really makes this difficult is the fact that the text needs to be directly editable by users (cannot be in a locked field). Any suggestions on how I might tackle this?
