Working with indents

[pjmattingly]

Hi,

I'm getting started with Dendron, and I wanted to see if it would be possible to use indentation with Dendron?

For example, I prefer to have my notes indented like:

Title
        sub-task
                sub-sub-task

Then I can use code folding to keep my documents compact. I get visually overwhelmed with lot's of text on the screen. And so Dendron's approach of using markdown headings is unappealing to me as it's very visually busy:

# Title
## sub-task
### sub-sub-task

A reasonable compromise seems to be to do something in-between:

# Title
        ## sub-task
                ### sub-sub-task

Then to turn this into valid markdown, whitespace just needs to be trimmed from the front. Is there a way I can do this?

Thanks.

Can you use nested lists to get the effect you want? (Indents are two spaces.)

• Title
  • Sub-task
  • Sub-sub-task

That seems reasonable.

Would it be possible to make a configuration change to change the indent size to 4? I find that easier to avoid the "visual overwhelming" issues I mentioned.

Also it would be very helpful if I could assign the "tab" key to insert - to create a (sub)list. That might be out of scope for Dendron. Do you have any pointers on how I might customize Code to make that change?

Thank you.

Search me. 😸 I'm just getting into modifying Dendron & don't know how to do much of anything yet.

Fair enough, thank you for your help. =)
