Well, I afraid that 2 plugins on "definition lists" are too weak...
Please look on this page:
http://www.valentina-db.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=paradigma:public:en:documen
tation:vkernel:database:files
Find here
³dbName.tmp² volume
Note that the following 3 paragraphs are intending. Also note that second
paragraph in fact is Unordered List.
You cannot use > to quote lists. Not works.
The only way to FORCE it looks like it is now I have made using syntax:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
** "dbName.tmp" volume **
<html><blockquote></html>
Contains all temporary data and structures such as:
* temporary tables;
* record locks information;
* join tables;
\\
Valentina always creates this file opening a database and removes it after
closing. In case of a system failure a new temporary file will be created on
the next opening of a database. The advantage to have such separate .tmp
volume is that we need zero time to erase any temporary files left from
previous session (in case of failure).
<html></blockquote></html>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also I want to note that in Dreamweaver I can do this as easy as
SELECT 3 paragraphs and press button INDENT RIGHT.
This can be easy done on DTP software. DokuWiki is going to be use as DOC
System, so I want to have *easy* define such layout of document:
one header and few paragraphs with indent
IF you not like <blockquote> then lets use other tags for this. I just want
do that easy. Although again, Dreaweaver and several other wikis use
<blockquote> to indent text.
What you think?
I want be able indent text (any number of paragraphs) by simple
SELECT + Button click in editor.
Can we get this dream? :-)
