![]() Having Tab act counter-intuitively does still throw me off once a while and I’ve been using Obsidian for a year. Nice to have it all so HTML friendly by default though. Ultimately it’s probably better for me that I can’t use tabs like this, really - I don’t think I’ve ever come back to reference writing that I’ve made pretty with pseudo tables, and Advanced Tables can create what I should have been using more than well enough.Īnd at this point in my work my focus should be on generating and connecting ideas, anyway! But many websites don’t use monospace fonts except in codeblocks, so letter widths would vary and the effect would still be misaligned. I can still make it happen by using the tags with spacing between them, as long as I copy paste the tab. I did the childish thing and went another layer of “But why?” in my head - and the answer to that from google is that collapsing whitespace is a “feature” of HTML, and Markdown is a subset of HTML. Thank you for being kind enough to patiently repeat an explanation that I had missed. In the end I’ll survive the move to Obsidian without being easily able to right-align or tab within a sentence, but it’ll require I change my habits - and the procrastinator in me apparently demonstrates that it’s easier to spend an hour looking for an answer instead of putting the effort into changing habits XDĪhh, yes, I haven’t been using the preview mode at all, I’ve just been in editing mode. I realize Obsidian may not be a word processor, or Scrivener, but dangnabit that’s exactly how I’m using it - a wonderful way of linking all my ideas for world building together, being able to actually see where I’ve written about the same thing a dozen times over and consolidate my notes, while writing out drafts using the Longform plugin. Instead I can use the Advanced Tables plugin to create a table, or copy-paste the tab character or spaces within a line. Or like others here, I would tab within a sentence if I wanted to have something like a comment visually pleasantly in line with others. In Obsidian to do this I instead need to use right-align, which for ease of use requires two plugins (Templater and cMenu). I am politely curious as to the logic of this, as my google fu has not uncovered any logic behind why this is a thing in Markdown.įor example, I would tab things so I could move the attributing author beneath a quote. And yet tabbing in the middle of the line does not insert those space characters - it tabs the line forward instead. There is a on/off feature under Options > Editor that allows us to change tab characters to space characters instead.
