Hi Jendrik.
You obviously have not changed such text blocks very often by hand... I
thought, RedNotebook could also be used for general notes, not just
short diary entries (which are normally not changed later).

I think the easiest way is to just use the indentation that you like
best manually. Normal line breaks and whitespace are not preserved and
therefore you can use whatever layout you like and the preview will
still look good.
Cheers,

Hi Jendrik.
OK - if none of the available editor components support indentation
of wrapped lines: Second best solution would be a button to
(re-)format the lists. Apart form the handling needed for explicit
line breaks this could be done as follows: First make one line for
each list entry, then insert line breaks and spaces to build nice
indented paragraphs.
Notes:
1. I think that rendering for normal view would ignore these line
breaks and spaces anyway.
2. I think a configured max. line length could be used for this
re-formatting - some users may prefer that current width of edit
window may be used.

Hi Hans,
your proposal sounds good, but it will probably be difficult to
implement something like this. Maybe switching to GtkSourceView as
the editor component might simplify this, but I doubt it.
Cheers,

Lines of lists should be shown with indentation in "Edit" mode,
e.g. not like this:
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.\\
The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
but better as follows:
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.\\
The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
(I hope it's still visible in the mail).
Reason:
Big advantage of RedNotebook is, that even in "Edit" mode there is
some formatting (e.g. bold, underline, tags in red), which makes
editing much more user friendly than e.g. wiki pages :). But lists
are hard to read and very confusing, because the wrapped lines, and
the lines after manual line breaks, are not indented according to
the level of the list. A simple indentation with adding something
like "virtual spaces" would be perfect for "Edit" mode, so I
suppose and hope that support for this may not be much work. I'm
almost always in "Edit" mode, because most of the time I need to
change something, so for users like me such a feature is even more
important than for general users.
PS.: I'm new in the mailing list, so excuse me if something formal
is not OK - I use Thunderbird (not Outlook) for mailing lists, and
hope that the format is OK.
Regards
Hans
