Dear all,
I am struggling with a simple indentation problem.
Having this: (1)
====================================================================
***** test
- indented
line
^
point at "^" and pressing TAB results in:
***** test
- indented
line
^
====================================================================
Having this: (2)
***** test
- indented
- indented
line
^
point at "^" and pressing TAB results in:
***** test
- indented
- indented
line
^
====================================================================
I want to consistently indent lines like in case (1).
Why does org not indent in case (2)
How can I change this behavior? Is it a config issue?
I could not find a variable where I could adapt the indentation behavior.
Best
Rainer

I cannot reproduce this. I always get case (1). Are you using
development version ?

Nicolas, thanks for checking. Yes I use the development version.
After I git - pulled the indentation works now. Must have been an intermediate problem.
One thing that is annoying me still:
Having
** headline
- indent
text
^
and pressing "TAB" I end up with
** headline
- indent
text
^
but would like to have
** headline
- indent
text
^
Is this configurable?

Yes. The less intrusive way of obtaining this is to use C-j instead of
RET after the "indent" line.
If you do not want lists to rely on indentation ever, you can set
`org-list-ending-method' to `regexp'. In this case, only blank lines
can end a list (see variable doc-string for more information), so
"text" will get back into the item after pressing TAB.

Thanks! C-j is best. I still struggle with indentation:
Sometime I do save some an email body text under an org item.
Pasting the text under "item" leads to
* heading
- item
E-Mail body text line1
E-Mail body text line2
...
Now I cannot use C-j of course. How do I easily get
* heading
- item
E-Mail body text line1
E-Mail body text line2
...
TAB as explained does not what I want.
Do you have an idea? "indent-region" does also the "wrong" thing.

There is no way for Org to guess what you have in mind here (and this
is why I don't like that much the "indent" method in
`org-list-ending-method').
In your situation, I would use C-x r o with an adequate rectangle
selection. After all, we are _also_ in Emacs.

I think it would be OK to modify the indentation code to
do the most useful thing in this case, which is indenting
to under the list. Is is OK to put the burden for
terminating list by indentation on the user. The reason why
I wanted this was mostly so that old files still publish
the same way. I myself has switched to leave two empty
lines to terminate my lists and enjoy the consistent
indentation that results from this.

I fear that by doing this modification, we're letting in again a
dreadful bug. Let me explain it.
This is not the most useful thing in this case, but the most
conservative one. This is needed when you want to correct indentation
of a region (or the whole buffer). If we turn the behavior the other
way, indenting the buffer will ruin parts of it, like before, as any
text beyond a list would go inside its last item, regardless of text
position.
And this is worse than having to cope with some rectangle selection,
because it would modify parts of buffer outside user's view. With the
current behavior, what's in stays in, and what's out stays out.
Another idea would be to slightly modify `org-paste-special' and
`org-yank' so anything yanked inside a list is automatically put
inside the item at point. The exact behavior of this has yet to be
defined, though.

Hi Nicolas,
With regards to the discussion below, if I 'set org-list-ending-method
to 'regex, it seems to get confused if there is a drawer between the
headline and the first line of text, so pressing TAB with the cursor
at the vertical bar in this example:
---->8-------
** Headline
:PROPERTIES:
:FOO: Bar
:END:
|
---->8-------
Does not indent to the position under the "H" in the headline. The TAB
key silently does nothing. Same effect with the properties drawer
folded. Is it possible to indent correctly, ignoring the drawer?
Thanks,
-Anthony

Actually, this has nothing to do with the value of
org-list-ending-method, but I think you are right, indentation should
ignore drawers.
Here is a patch to do so. Does it work for you ?
