Quuzuu 5 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I typed screenshot 1 below in a code editor, indented with tab. (If you code, you know what it's like). If I copy it into MS Word, it can retain the indentation hierarchy with bullets as shown in screenshot 2. Is there a way to copy it into Evernote and also retain the indentation hierarchy? I tried to directly copy, and then apply bullets, and it messed up. I think It has to be done with bullets though, because without bullets, lines won't wrap around with hangings. Link to comment

No, Evernote doesn't support tab indentations; I think this is a result of the enml/html base format. Tabs in pasted text are converted to spaces; indentation is dropped. A bullet list could be an indentation solution, but there's no direct conversion. edit: I see that text indentation is supported by the editor on my Mac and uses html code <div style="margin-left: nnpx;"> Link to comment

I did notice that tabs are converted to spaces, but it was irrelevant to my issue. I could set my code editor to use either spaces or tabs when I press the tab key, but the end result of pasting into EN is the same, which is indented with spaces. (Although it does make a difference when pasting into MS Word) The indented spaces in EN are actually well preserved, the only issue is when a line wraps around it doesn't have hangings, that's why I wanted to use bullets.
