Topic: Help Formatting, Please?
Is it possible to indent lines or to have excess spacing in poems on this website? If so, how is it done? Please respond if you know. Thank you.

I don't believe we can indent lines and I've been trying to do it for the past three years. If you know HTML there might be a way to do it in quick edit but otherwise, unfortunately we're out of luck.

If you're looking to create stanzas though (which would probably also work for excess spacing) try going to quick edit/preview after you upload the story then backspace all the little breaks that FP makes then enter in carefully your own breaks. That should work, if it doesn't keep playing around in quick edit until it does.

I'm stuck using a period and spaces and saying "Don't mind the periods." in my summary.

I emailed support today asking about it, for the heck of it. Don't know if they'll be of any help but whatever.

If you're trying to get the spacing to look like:

Bob

Dole

was

a presidental

electee who

was never

ever really

going anywhere.

Instead of looking like:

Bob

Dole

was

a presidental

electee who

was never

ever really

going anywhere

Then, in the Edit mode, after you've already uploaded a document, you have to backspace to negate the paragraping done by FictionPress, and then just press Shift and Enter. That will space a single line, instead of doubelspacing. You just have to go through your poem, and keep doing that.

When it comes to Indentation, I'm less confident, but a quick google for Indenting in HTML code might net you some results. But, then again, this is FictionPress; the place where HTML code comes to die.
