Paragraphs

Please note that Wikisource does not indent the first lines of paragraphs. Indented text is reserved for certain special situations in which the source text must be indented for clarity. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:05, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Fixed. If I may suggest, add a note to the Template:Indent page. JoshuaKGarner (talk) 23:14, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

And for your other formatting, we have {{right}}. For many standard formatting circumstances we have a template to cater for them. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:17, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Section tags usage

Hi. A quick note. Section tags are only needed when you wish to split the contents of a page (eg. Page:Dictionary of National Biography volume 44.djvu/210. If the whole content of a page is planned to be used, then we don't need to add the tags. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:56, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm not the one who added them, and really unsure what precisely they accomplish, but apparently for this text they need to be there to prevent it from breaking:Index_talk:The_Development_of_Navies_During_the_Last_Half-Century.djvu JoshuaKGarner (talk) 03:05, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointer, I will run a bot through these pages and tidy them all when I have a chance. In short someone made something more complex than it needs to be. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:22, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Cold Iron

If you plan to continue with editing poetry, you might want to look at how I used {{block center/s}} and {{block center/e}} to correct the alignment of this poem that spans more than one page. It might help in future. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:52, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. I assumed there was a more elegant way to do that but I couldn't find the method. Joshua Garner (talk) 18:04, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
