I've been ignoring this problem for awhile... it's obviously a config issue but something I just hadn't gotten around to...
Seems silly but its annoying... when I have an indention using " " if I re-edit the story and forget to reinsert the space the text reverts back without spacing.
It's probably an html tag but I don't know the syntax to add... can anyone help...

Thanks,

Lee

I assume you're talking about "nbsp" entities? Geeklog is notoriously bad in handling HTML entities.

But for indentation, that's the wrong approach anyway. Either use the PRE tag (which keeps the original spacing) or define yourself some CSS classes for indentation in your stylesheet and use them, e.g.
Text Formatted Code
<p class="myindent">indented text here
 


"myindent" could be something like
Text Formatted Code
.myindent {
  padding-left: 2em;
}
 
which would indent text by about the width of 2 'm' characters in the current font size.

bye, Dirk

Add the second bit of code (".myindent { ...") to your stylesheet, then use it as per the first example.
