Remove a 'stuck' indent

Post by dalewood »

From time-to-time I have some text indented and I cannot remove the indent. The Indent buttons only let me further indent, not remove the indent.

I see a "block quote" if I reveal the tags.

What I currently do is copy the text and repaste it further on down in the document and delete the 'non-removable' indented text. I have tried to 'reset the class' with no luck

Is there some easier way to remove 'stuck' indented text?

Block Quote is a tag type that indents the text, so it's doing exactly what the code is telling it to. You'll need to switch the tags back to p tags to remove the indent. If you right click on the block icon to the left of the tag you should be able to use the Unbind command to do this.
Until next time....

The indent icon isn't a toggle -- if you want to remove an indent, you don't click it again, you click the outdent icon instead. The outdent icon will turn the blockquote into a normal <p> tag. A blockquote is a container tag, just like the <p> tag, so I don't think the unbind will work. I think the only option is to click the outdent icon.

Hi Kevin -

Thank you. That did the trick after right clicking and selecting Edit / Unbind.

Never used /knew about those commands before.

The "outdent" icon was not available, but it was grayed out, hence the question.
