Tab Spacing in Text Web Part
Hi nickf76
why exactly are tables not suitable?
Are tables too complicated to create or do you have an example where a table does not work?
Alternatively, you could try the markdown webpart and enter your documentation as markdown
Best Regards,
Sven
PS:
Markdown contains all the formatting instructions in the text itself, so for example this
This is **bold** textresults in
"This is bold text"
Perhaps there is an option in Adobe Indesign or somewhere else in your publishing process to export the whole documentation as markdown. Then you can just copy&paste it into this webpart.
SvenSieverding Thanks for pointing out markdown to me, I performed a test and found that when using tab spacing it converts the text style to look like a code snippet. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here, but researching markdown syntax, this seems to be the case.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the Table element and using them, I am actually persevering with them, but I believe they will not be the way to go in the end due to our authors heavy use of tabs and with them coming from a desktop publishing background, the guys will find working with these tables a bit inconvenient to populate compared to what they are use to.
Sorry for the delay, I've been on a well earned holiday :).
