Blockquote Indenting

I am new to contribute and using the indent feature, this is indenting a lot more than i would like after researching seems like this is a "blockquote" feature and pre-defined, so is there a way to indent less without adding tables etc?

Hi,
You can use certain css properties like text-indent to specify the amount of indentation you require. For information on how to specify it, visit the following link: http://flylib.com/books/en/2.30.1.101/1/.
Hope this helps.

An indented paragraph next to a floating image?

Hi,
I have a typical book layout page: Text with a floated image to the left, with a blockquote that is indented 30px to the left and right. For some reason when the indented paragraph is next to the floating image, the indent does not show up. It does show up when the text wraps that paragraph below the image.
The reason for this appearance is that though the paragraph is set margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 30px;, because the image has a width of 400px, the margin to the left, for that paragraph, must be 430px. Of course when the text wraps so that the indented paragraph is below the image, the indent is far too wide.
Here is some code:
<div style="width: 100%;>
<img style="float: left; width: 400px;" />
<p>Some text goes here</p>
<p style="margin-right: 30px; margin-left: 30px;">Indented paragraph</p>
</div>
Any idea how to get this blockquote indenting?

Use text-indent property.

Styling and indenting new 'blockquote' style

Hi,
I am new to pages, and am trying to create a new style. The style is meant to be a holder for source code, so I want it to be set off from the rest of the text. So I wanted the text to be on a gray background, indented one level from surrounding text, in a fixed width font etc.
I made these changes in the Inspector and the font panel, and then created a style, called 'code' for it.
The problem is the background fill color fills the width of the document, rather than being just behind my text (which is indented). Is there any way to define a style that has indented text with the rectangular background fill being indented the same amount?
Not unlike this site, which has code brackets like this:
this is a test

Looks like you've found something Pages cannot do at present. Go here to leave a feature request. In the meantime, looks like you'll have to make do with a text color and/or attribute.

How can I indent a paragraph WITHOUT creating spaces above or beneath?

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a G5 Macintosh running OS
10.5.5.
I selected a new HTML document (Dreamweaver opened it as a
CSS) and pasted text from a MS Word document.
When I "Indent" ALL of the text everything stays the same
except that it is ALL indented.
BUT when I "Indent" only one paragraph then that paragraph is
not only indented BUT there ALSO appears an extra space before and
an extra space after that paragraph.
What this is doing is inserting <blockquote> before and
after the paragraph.
How can I "indent" a paragraph without any spaces appearing
before or after the paragraph?
Also can this be easily done from the Design page?
I tried inserting a tag by pressing the "tag" button on the
keyboard but that did the same thing as using the "indent" function
(i.e. also inserted spaces before & after the paragraph).
BTW: I am a novice, so please try to make it as simple as
possible.

When you paste from Word, you often get line breaks instead
of paragraphs.
I think that's the problem.
Instead of this -
<p>this is a paragraph</p>
<p>this is a paragraph</p>
<p>this is a paragraph</p>
<p>this is a paragraph</p>
you get this -
<p>this is a paragraph<br />
this is a paragraph<br />
this is a paragraph<br />
this is a paragraph</p>
In which case the symptoms are completely understandable.

Inserting blockquote tags into a HTMLDocument

G'Day,
I'm having a bit of trouble inserting <blockquote> tags into a HTMLDocument.
Basically I want the blockquote tags to implement an indent feature. ie, you click a button and all the text in the current paragraph gets surrunded by blockquote tags, which when rendered makes it indent.
The code I'm using is:
Element current = doc.getParagraphElement(pos);
try
doc.insertBeforeStart(current, "<blockquote>");
doc.insertAfterEnd(current, "</blockquote>");
catch (Exception e)
lets say we have html like this:
<p>
hello
</p>
when this code runs, i get:
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>
hello
</p>
I think that when I do the insertBeforeStart and insert the opening tag, after that completes the document is rendered and the end tag is put in there automatically???
So, can anyone help me out here and suggest a better way?
Cheers,
Leighton.

I've been trying to get <blockquote> insert working in an editor but it seems to be a quite difficult task even if it's only about inserting a couple of tags into the right slot! This is the closest I got:
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument)editor.getDocument();
int start = editor.getCaretPosition()
int paraStart = doc.getParagraphElement(start).getStartOffset();
int paraEnd = doc.getParagraphElement(start).getEndOffset();
String insideBlockQuotes = doc.getText(paraStart, paraEnd - paraStart);
doc.setOuterHTML(doc.getParagraphElement(start),"<blockquote><p>"+insideBlockQuotes+"</p></blockquote>");
This is how it works: Get the current paragraphs start and end positions, read the text between the start and end into a string, replace the paragrapElement with <blockquote><p>..the text from string..</p></blockquote>.
This works 'in about' but it's far from perfect.. it has the following problems:
1. It looses all formatting from the quoted paragraph (bold etc. tags from the quoted part)
2. It assumes that the paragraphElement was a <p> (could have been another element too!)
3. It's ugly
Anybody come up with a better way to use blockquote?

Changing datetime indent...

Hi all.
I have another question for the pros:
I've indented my body <p> elements, but want to remove that indent from a time element. The code is: <p><time datetime="2013-05-08" id="pubdate">May 8, 2013</time></p>
I've tried the following css rules, but none have any effect:
p[datetime="2013-05-08"] {
    text-indent: 0;
*[datetime="2013-05-08"] {
    text-indent: 0;
time[datetime="2013-05-08"] {
    text-indent: 0;
#pubdate {
     text-indent: 0;
#pubdate[datetime="2013-05-08"] {
    text-indent: 0;
#pubdate * [datetime="2013-05-08"] {
    text-indent: 0;
The only thing that seems to work is if I remove the <p> element and just use <time> on its own, but then I have to reset the color value.
Is this the only workaround?
Thanks in advance,
B.

Hi BobtheLantern.
Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.
Yeah - I don't get it either. Everything's in an external stylesheet, and there's only one time element, so it's not like there's a specificity issue here.
Here's my code using your suggested rule - maybe you can see something I don't:
body {
    background: #eef;
    font-size: 100%;
    font-size: 17px; font-size: 1.7rem "Times New Roman", serif;
    line-height: 1.2;
header#masthead {
    background: #cacbe7;
h1,
h2,
h3,
h4 {
    font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: #6d0c67;
    text-align: center;
h1 {
    font: bold 25px; font-size: 2.5rem;
    line-height: 1.1;
    text-transform: uppercase;
h2 {
    font: bold 18px; font-size: 1.8rem;
h2#subtitle {
    color: #4f4290;
h3 {
    font: bold 14px; font-size: 1.4rem;
p {
          color: #90428b;
          text-indent: 1.5rem;
          text-align: justify;
p time {
    text-indent: 0;
blockquote p {
    font-style: italic;
    text-indent: 0;

Tab inserting blockquote

I just installed DW on a new laptop and I can't remember
where I need to change the setting so that when I am in a list item
- I can hit the tab key (or click the indent button) and the
current list item becomes a new list under the preceding list item.
I.E. if I have the following:
<li><a
href="#request.localpath#contact.cfm">CONTACT</a></li>
<li><a
href="#request.localpath#links.cfm">LINKS</a></li>
<li><a
href="#request.localpath#showSchedule.cfm">EVENTS</a></li>
And I am on the second line item and hit the tab key - it
used to do this...
<li><a
href="#request.localpath#contact.cfm">CONTACT</a>
<ul>
<li><a
href="#request.localpath#links.cfm">LINKS</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a
href="#request.localpath#showSchedule.cfm">EVENTS</a></li>
Now it does this:
<li><a
href="#request.localpath#contact.cfm">CONTACT</a></li>
<li><a href="#request.localpath#links.cfm">
<blockquote> </blockquote>
LINKS</a></li>
<li><a
href="#request.localpath#showSchedule.cfm">EVENTS</a></li>
What's up with that ? I have never seen it do that to me
before.
Thanks all.

Creating a "Blockquote" content element/module?

Hey Folks,
I'd like to create an element that displays a customer testimonial that i can drop into a page/template, similar in function to the "Announcements" module.
How would you go about creating one? is this a web app or a module? and is it a difficult undertaking for a good propblem solver but with limited coding skills?
Thanks!!
john

To build something like your own testimonials you would use a web app John
List layout can be used to show all testimonials on a testimonials page with pagination, a link to the detail view if you have really long ones. You can use the list backup for a nice look and feel layout for a random testimonial to go into your site templates as well.
I would recomend using a custom multiline text field for the small intro element to keep list layouts and the random testimonial small, then when they go into the detail view or main page listing you show that and the description area content.
It all depends on the client though and what sort of testimonails they have.
In terms of pages if you use the indent editor button in the editor area on a page in the admin that actually makes a blockquote and you can have your CSS make that look like a quote feel too as a basic option.

Can you disable indent and alignment

I'm just investigating use of Contribute and noticed a couple
of things, when using the indent button, an blockquote is used,
which is not really the correct use of blockquote. Is there a way
to disable this or to use another method other tham blockquote ti
indent text.
Is it possible to disable the alignment controls?
Thanks

Yes, i know. I get a full 5 bar 3G signal outside my house. The fact remains that inside i can get a perfectly decent (and fast) signal at all times, but my iPhone decides that GPRS would be better.
It's not acceptable. A device such as this should be smart enough to figure out that if i'm using the internet connection, even a less than full strength 3G signal is faster than GPRS, or Edge for that matter. And if it's not, there should be an option to turn them off.

Hi Experts,
We already have a setup on Indent Sales Process however, we have some issues that some items are not copied from Sales Order to Purchase Requisition. And we like to have a report to know if all line items from Sales Order are copied to Purchase Requisition.
Is there such an existing report in SAP?

Smartview indentation no longer working with upgrade

We are currently running HFM and Smartview with Office 2010. We have updated Smartview from version 11.1.2.1.x Build 271 to 11.1.2.2.310 Build 247. The Zoom In function is no longer working properly.
In the prior version:
1. Zoom In = Next Level
2. Member name Display = Member name and Description
3. Indention = Subitems
4. Ancestor Position = Top
The new version has the same settings however since updating to the new version the indentation no longer happens.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a workaround?

Hi,
Below is the copy paste of the content from Oracle doc.
Applies to:
Hyperion Planning - Version 11.1.2.1.600 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
Unable to use smartview column suppression features with an Essbase connection.
- Start up excel and then go to the smartview menu -> Options -> Data Options -> Suppress Columns section is active
- Establish an Essbase Shared Connection
- Go into adhoc mode or just double click on a database to bring up the metadata.
- Now go to smartview menu -> Options -> Data Options -> Suppress Columns section is grayed out.
The above feature works fine with a Planning connection.
Is this an Essbase connection limitation?
Cause
Installed the Smartview 11.1.2.1.103 (Build 100)
Solution
The following was mentioned in the 11.1.2.2.310 version of the Smart View User's Guide. The description for Suppress Columns was updated as follows:
To streamline the grid, you can suppress columns that contain types of data that you do not need to view.
Notes:
-- In suppressed columns, cell references to Excel formulas are not updated.
-- The Suppress Columns options are not available when connected to an Essbase data source.
So from the above, it is not a supported feature when using an Essbase connection.

Lost index indentation

I converted WinHelp to HTMLHelp in RH8. I lost all of the indentation of my index. Is there an automated way to fix?

6) i now want to drop the tablespace but it still says
alter tablespace tablespace_name offline

ORA-01191: file 15 is already offline - cannot do a normal offline
ORA-01110: data file 15: '*_INDEX.DBF'
Although the tablespace is already offilne and i only have one datafile.
After deleating the tablespace i will create another tablespace by same name and run an import on that for indexes.
Later i can rebuild indexes.
>
As your tablespace is having only one datafile, that also the datafile is offline already , so you are getting the error.If the datafile would have be online you wouldn't have got the error.
Secondly, as you wrote that you want to delete the tablespace, create new one and run the import, so do
1. drop tablespace tablespace_name including contents and datafiles; -- this will drop the index tablespace
2. create tablespace tablespace_name_same datafile 'loaction/datafile/name' size xxxM extent management local
segment space management auto;
3. Import the data

How do I add paragraph indentation to a style in iBooks Author?

I have a book with a lot of quoted verse in it, which needs to be indented. In order to make the verse distinctive to the eye, it's both slightly tighter set than the rest of the text, and left-indented.
I can set up the tighter settings and save them as a style, but there seems to be no way to indicate indentation in iBooks Author.
Currently I go in and use list indentation in each instance of the verse, which isn't the right way to go.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

Try using the Inspector/Text/Tabs...see if it supplies the control you need.

TEXT-INDENT NOT WORKING

Hi!
Please see the below CSS code, why isn't the text-indent not
working? everything else is?
a.quick_link_buttons:link {
color : #004489;
font-family : Myriad, Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size : 12px;
text-indent : 10px;
line-height : 20px;
text-decoration : none;
font-style : normal;
font-weight : normal;
a.quick_link_buttons:hover {
color : #004489;
font-family : Myriad, Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size : 12px;
text-indent : 10px;
line-height : 20px;
text-decoration : underline;
font-style : normal;
font-weight : normal;
Many Thanks!

You don't need to respecify styles that will inherit or
default styles. You
could achieve the same styles with the following -
a.quick_link_buttons {
color : #004489;
font-family : Myriad, Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size : 12px;
text-indent : 10px;
line-height : 20px;
text-decoration : none;
a.quick_link_buttons:hover {
text-decoration : underline;
As for why the indent isn't working, try 'padding-left:10px;'
instead, when
applied to the inline element. Or, you can have a rule that
will apply to
the container for these links, e.g.,
<div style="text-indent:10px;">
<a class="quick_link_buttons">whatever</a>
</div>

Multilevel lists in indented text

Hello everybody,
I am using RoboHelp HTML 11 and I have a question regarding the use of multilevel lists in indented text.
The main text in my topics is indented by 122.7px in order to leave enough space for text boxes that summarize the main text parts in the left margin.
Now I want to create a multilevel list style so that I can use these lists in the indented main text. Therefore, I created a paragraph style "List_Style" which includes the indention of the main text (122.7px). Then I created a new multilevel list style in which each list level is based on the "List_Style" paragraph style. In my understanding the indention should be adopted from the "List_Style" style but unfortunately it doesn't. Can anybody please tell me why and what I have to do to make this work?
Best,
Mr. Fox
PS: My output will be HTML5 Responsive Layout and Printed Documentation and I created all styles I am using in RoboHelp.

Thank you very much for your reply amerilinguistics.
Peter's site is excellent, I've studied it before but unfortunately I could not figure out what my problem is.
I will try to describe it as detailed as possible:
The paragraph style of my main text "MyMainText" has the following properties:
p.MyMainText {
    font-size: 9pt;
    margin-bottom: 6pt;
    line-height: 150%;
    text-align: justify;
    font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
    margin-top: 0pt;
    text-indent: 0px;
    margin-left: 122.7pt;
I have copied the "MyMainText" paragraph style and named it "List_style". Consequently it has the same properties as "MyMainText" (I just wanted to be able to play around, that is why I created "List_style"). My multilevel lists should be based on "List_Style" so that they align properly with the main text and the margin of 122.7pt is kept.
Then I created a new multilevel list "MyBulletList":
rh-list.MyBulletList {
    x-level-count: 3;
    x-lvl-1-type: MyList_Level1;
    x-lvl-1-format: "<x>";
    x-lvl-1-margin: 20px;
    x-lvl-1-text-indent: -20px;
    x-lvl-1-p-class: List_Style;
    x-lvl-1-p-tag: p;
    x-lvl-2-type: MyList_Level2and3;
    x-lvl-2-format: "<x>";
    x-lvl-2-margin: 40px;
    x-lvl-2-text-indent: -20px;
    x-lvl-2-p-class: List_Style;
    x-lvl-2-p-tag: p;
    x-lvl-3-type: MyList_Level2and3;
    x-lvl-3-format: "<x>";
    x-lvl-3-margin: 60px;
    x-lvl-3-text-indent: -20px;
    x-lvl-3-p-class: List_Style;
    x-lvl-3-p-tag: p;
I now go back to my main text and hit ENTER to insert a multilevel list. Therefore, I click the Insert Multilevel list button and select my "MyBulletList".
Result: The bullet appears in the margin that should be kept blank even though it is actually part of my "List_Style".
My questions are:
Why are the list levels not based on the paragraph style "List_Style" and its set margin of 122.7pt?
What can I do to make the lists work (HTML5 Responsive Layout and Printed Documentation)?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
