[oXygen-user] wish: reindenting without rewrapping

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Lars,

There are two indent commands in oXygen. The second one is exactly as 
you describe, it only indents the space at the beginning of each line 
without affecting the line breaks. It is called Indent selection and it 
is available on the contextual menu (right click on windows). You can 
assign a shortcut for this action using the Options->Preferences dialog 
in the Menu shortcut keys entry -> Indent selection action.

For separating a template from the other I use comments. They allow the 
new lines to stay there even after a format and indent operation and 
also allow me to enter a small description of the template.

Best Regards,
George
