Hey Arnold! How do I do multiple indented lists, as in a formal outline? ---

That’s what I was trying above, so I can tell you, don’t do it like that. ---

You can’t nest list tags. Since the code tag does not condense multiple spaces, you could do it that way. Unfortunately the code tag does not linewrap, so make sure your lines are short. Example: ```auto 1. France a. Her Kings b. Her Republic 2. United Kingdom a. The Monarchy b. The Parliament 3. Discussion a. Why the French system is better b. Why the British system is better c. My opinion ``` So far my tests seem to show that you can nest two list tags, as long as the first one is a plain list and the other one is list=A or list=1. There are three kinds of list tags: list, list=A, list=1 Example: [ul] [li]Major Heading 1[/li][li]Major Heading 2[/li][list=A] [li]Major Heading 2 Sub-heading A[/li][li]Major Heading 2 Sub-heading B[/list=A][/li][li]Major Heading 3[/li][/ul] will show up as: [ul] [li]Major Heading 1[/li][li]Major Heading 2[/li][list=A] [li]Major Heading 2 Sub-heading A[/li][li]Major Heading 2 Sub-heading B[/list=A][/li][li]Major Heading 3[/li][/ul] ---

The trick is just to use the “hard space” or as MS-Word calls it, the “non-breaking space”. This is made using the Character Map accessory, or typing Alt+0160. This is how people make patterned figures like this   X X X and just genrally when you want     more spaces. ---

Unfortunately, I find the non-breaking space only moderately useful for indenting, since the font for posts is not a monospace font. ---
