Tool usage guide
The Text Indenter is a straightforward utility designed to help you quickly apply consistent indentation to every line of your text, improving readability and formatting for code, lists, or documents.
Background
A developer needs to paste a raw list of function names into a documentation file but requires them to be indented by 4 spaces for readability.
Problem
Manually adding spaces to every line is tedious and prone to errors.
How to use
Paste the function names, select 'Spaces' as the type, and set the amount to 4.
indentType: spaces, indentAmount: 4Outcome
Every line is perfectly aligned with a 4-space indent, ready for the documentation.
Background
A writer has a flat list of items that needs to look like a nested outline for a presentation.
Problem
The text lacks the visual structure needed to distinguish sub-items.
How to use
Paste the list, select 'Tabs' as the indent type, and apply to the relevant lines.
indentType: tabs, indentAmount: 1Yes, select 'Custom Character' from the Indent Type menu and enter your desired symbol in the Custom Indent Character field.
By default, the tool preserves empty lines to maintain your original paragraph structure, but you can toggle this setting off if preferred.
You can set any positive integer as the indent amount to suit your specific formatting needs.
Yes, the Indent Type dropdown allows you to toggle between tabs, spaces, or custom characters easily.
The tool processes your text locally in your browser, ensuring your data remains private and secure.
Outcome
The list items are clearly indented, creating a clean, hierarchical visual structure.
