    I'm not sure where the best place to put this...

    I'm interested in potentially buying BlogJet but one feature it is missing (which to be honest all offline blog tools seem to), is to have the difference between a "bockquote" and an "indent".

    For instance, under TinyMCE with recent WordPress software, selecting the quote button (") makes it a "blockquote", but selecting the "indent" (right arrow with lines button) actually generates a "<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> in front of the text.

    I like having both versions personally, because I have CSS to highlight actual quotes versus say just text I want indented. For instance if I want to put a URL on a line by itself I tend to do a vanilla indent (which yields the "padding-left" code), whereas if I'm quoting text from another author I use the '"' button (which yields the "blockquote" code).

    Is there a way to get similar functionality in BlogJet?

    Thanks in advance!

    Currently you can use the power of auto replace feature to do indenting without blockquotes. It's not as convenient as if it was a built-in feature, but still usable.

    * Click Tools > Auto Replace.
    * Click Add to add a new rule.
    * Type a name for a rule, for example indentme.
    * Type the following to "Replace with" field: <p style="padding-left: 30px">text</p>.
    * Click OK, and OK.

    Now, in editor, when you type indentme (and press Space), it will be replaced with an indented paragraph with "text". Replace the text with your actual text you want to be indented.
