Post your work forum?

Feathers · Jun 21, 2007

I tried to post a section of my work in the 'post your work' forum, but I noticed there was seemingly no way to tab new speakers or paragraphs. I looked around, and then assumed it was the 'increase indent' option.Its not. It makes something look like

this

which is not what I want. I want tab. how do I do this?

Just put a blank line between paragraphs. That's an acceptable format for online reading.

Yes, a minor PIA of posting in the SYW boards is that your submission-ready ms. will not show normal tabs.

It's relatively easy to do a find-and-replace for Paragraph-Tab (a.k.a. Enter-Tab) replaced with Paragraph-Paragraph.

I tend to write early drafts which I suspect I'll be sharing online using both the blank line and the tab. Later I just deleted the blank line.

The tab thing is annoying but I never thought of doing it Maryn's way. Duh.

Thanks for the tip, Maryn, that'll be a big help!
