Help with coding

[lunabee34]

I wrote this fic in Buffy that I have uploaded to AO3 and someone asked me to add it to a collection, which yay, of course, but the fic is written in the form of an outline and since I don't know the html for "tab" or even just "space" it doesn't look like an outline. It's just right justified the whole way down. I'd like to fix it. Anybody can tell me how?

Hardcoding spaces is   (nbsp = nonbreaking space).

You know everything. It is now official. :) Thank you!

Are you saying that you want to indent each paragraph? Or space between them?

You can created a paragraph using the paragraph tag: <*p>and<*/p>

I cheat and just use two line breaks between paragraphs because I think it's easier to code: <*br>and<*/br>

(Removing the * of course.)

Oh, thank you so much. I am so behind on all this stuff. *hugs*

This is one of the few things I like the LJ interface for - gakking code when I don't know/can't remember the tags. I use the rich text mode, toggle across to html and copy-pasta.

• Bullet point

[ul][li]your text here[/li][/ul]

Indent

[div style="margin-left: 40px;"]your text here[/div]

Heh. I almost commented that you could use [ol] if you wanted numbered outline and [blockquote] if you wanted to indent blocks of text.

[ariadne83]

Haha I say whatever works is all good.

I'd go with the ol or ul option...and you can imbed them in each other so they intent as they down.

It's hard to explain in a comment because lj uses the coding. if you haven't figured it out yet, you can can email me though shannon730@gmail.com and I can walk you through it. I'll even be really nice if you'd like and say send it to me and I'll do it for you.

You are so awesome. I'm gonna try these tips and if I don't get it, I'll send it to you. It's incredibly short.

I really appreciate the offer, Shannon. *hugs*

No problem. It's really easy to do. But as I said hard to explain when using the coding switches to what it will look like rahter than let you see the coding itself.
