Native Indent function in Gutenberg

  • Hi,

    I’m trying to understand how the Gutenberg Editor does not have a native indent function. The site I have been working on for the last two years is an academic journal that uses indented paragraphs and block quotes regularly. Thus far, the only way I have been able to create indents is by reverting to Classic Editor.

    The Github forum discussion about this issue shows that this request has been active for 2 years at least… will this ever happen, or is there something about indenting specifically which makes that function impossible to implement?

    Thank you!

    You could do some CSS to have paragraphs indent.

    Please provide a link to a page on your site where we can see this. Thanks. Note: Your link will be public and we will not later remove it.

    Is this something WordPress would like to support but can’t due to Gutenberg limitations, or a feature WordPress is abandoning? Gutenberg requires so much editing in HTML that I feel like I’ve gotten nostalgic for 1998 and writing my websites in Notepad.

    LOL, Sapphire – I know what you mean! I’m really trying to do things in the native way, so that non-programmers will be able to maintain the content, but Gutenberg is not making it easy.

    I too need indented paragraphs and various other things that used to be easy in the classic editor, and I know we are not alone.

    I’m looking for indent too. I guess using a classic block is still the answer in that I can’t find it anywhere still.
