This text is right-justified.

Line 3 has a br in brackets and no carriage return, which means no empty line to follow and no indent.
Line 4 is just like Line 3.
Line 5 ends with a carriage return.

And all text after is back to the usual thing.

To make deeply indented single spaced paragraphs, you need to insert spaces at the beginning of lines 3 through 5 above. To make spaces that won't be ignored, use & nbsp but without the space between the & and the nbsp.

You'll just have to believe me about the nbsp guy, because when you click "reply-with-quote", all you see are the spaces. Really. I typed in the & nbsp things - ten of them, right next to eachother, with no spaces, just at the beginning of lines 3 through 5. But it does works, see:

Line 1
Line 2

Line 3
Line 4
Line 5

And now we're back to normal text again.

Sorry this is so textbook-ish. I don't know how else to show how to do it! And there has to be an easier way. Anyone???

*********Added Jan 24:

An easier but less precise way of having indented text is to use the blockquote command. This doesn't automatically bring in the right margin, but I'm sure there are ways of doing that if you really want to. Here we go with a blockquote:

It’ll indent the quote lines and change the font. You can select the font that it will use by changing the FONT FACE setting, which I did to make this ARIAL.

This is useful for verse (not “uni”verse – songs or poems) or, say, someone writing a letter. That kind of thing.

I had the chinese in italics when I wrote something, I posted it and they reverted to plain text. The first time I posted I hadn't used italics and corrected after posting. It worked fine that time. Do I need to alter things from Appleworks when I post it, or post and then quickly revise or what? Or was this just a freakish playful space monkey thing...

I added a few things today... if you dig through the original post, you'll find how-tos for:

- centering paragraphs
- including blockquotes (an easier way to indent sections)
- using horizontal lines to separate sections
- using tables to align text

BTW, I've been trying to set up a style sheet for my fics, but it doesn't work when I try to apply it. I'm either messing up, (highly likely!) or the BSR is ignoring my efforts.

Has anyone been successful with this?

That only works if you are logged in before you click that link. If you see a login screen after clicking that link, there will no longer be a quote.
