If one wants to write numbered paragraphs, one has the chance to enter the
character(s) after the number (e.g. a point). Also one may determine the gap
between the number and the following text (in terms of distance and minimum
distance).
However, I do not suceed the desired result if the numbering goes beyond digit
boundaries. I want to be able to enter something like
.\t
for the character after the number, meaning: follow the number by a dot plus a
tab character. In general, one likes to combine numbered paragraphs with a
negative indentation for the numbers. The result should look like this:
1. bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla blabber
bla bla blabber bla
2. bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla blabber
bla bla blabber bla
...
10. bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla blabber
bla bla blabber bla
...
and I would like to achieve this by using a tab character to separater the
numbering from the rest (in Word, it works that way).
Of course the paragraph would have to be indented that way with an indentation
but with the first line with the same amount outdented the same amount (in
German, this would be called "hängender Einzug"). If one sets such a format, a
left tab should be automatically set to the position of the indentation such
that it can readily be used when formating numbered paragraphs.
The ability to enter control characters would also be very beneficial for
Search and Replace, e.g. if one wants to search for paragraph control charcters
and replace them, e.g. a paraagraph mark by a forced linefeed.
To represent such characters, I would suggest to use the usual notation e.g.
\t Tab character
\l Linefeed
...
Of course, the available list should easily be found under the keyword Control
Character (German: Steuerzeichen) in the online Help and in the documentation.
