Adding+Tabs+in+Wikispaces

Tabs can be added to a wikispaces document by using the wikitext editor. To access the wikitext editor, click edit, then right click the arrow next to save, and then select the wikitext editor. A tab can be added with the following symbol: "> ". Note that the quotations aren't used, and the space after the ">" is necessary. For two indents, use ">> ". For three indents, use ">>> ", and so on. See the following link for more information about wikitext editor markup:

If one already has some indented text (that is not in a program like Word), and you want to convert it into the wikitext format a few simple regex replacements can be used. One nice online tool for doing regular expressions can be found here:

To replace indents with the wikitext markup just

replace "\t" with ">" (don't use quotations of course)

then replace "((>)+)" with "$1 "

Here is some indented text:

> The dog ran over >> to the store

Another option for converting indented text to look correctly in wikispaces is to simply copy the text and copy it into an added "Code" widget.
