I can use C-x TAB "increase-left-margin" of course, but then it changes the indentation of the whole previous paragraph! Typing RET or explicitely calling open-line does not seem to create a paragraph boundary. In order to create a new paragraph with a new indentation, it seems that I must: 1. type a series of RET (to be able to navigate afterwards without typing RET);
2. go to the first line in this series; 3. indent as desired and type text;4. go to the next line using down arrow (RET would fall back to the previous indentation); 5. type TAB to apply the same indentation as the previous line and type text.
Ain’t this a bit awkward ? AlexandreOn Mon, 27 May 2013 15:25:46 +0200, Drew Adams <drew.adams@oracle.com> wrote:
I just don’t get the rationale of it and why it is so hard to disable. All I want from enriched mode is persistent colors/bold/italic, otherwise the standard indentation behavior of fundamental-mode and text-mode is OK forme. I tried indent-to-column, use-hard-newlines and indented-text-mode with no avail. Maybe I should try org-mode but I don’t have so much time to learn such things. >> I use enriched mode extensively but if I start a new line say on column > 8, then why does enriched mode think that is an error and put it back to> beginning of line as soon as I type return ?You can use `M-x report-emacs-bug' to submit an enhancement request. If enriched mode couples indenting text with coloring it, and the two cannot be dissociated, that sounds like something that could be improved.It's best to give a complete and simple recipe to repro the problematic behavior, starting from `emacs -Q'.
